This is still not an excuse for strange things being dumped on the
list -- or perhaps you didn't mind that mailing loop 'Warning Message'
thing? After all, you could just delete it.

It takes time to read and throw away things.
It takes disk space to store them on your account until you find the
time to do this.
Throwing away message is not as easy as that; it has 'costs'.
