**** ATTENTION! ****
I don't think it's absolutely necessary to continually hound me with
this fact that my system fucked up. SORRY! Sheesh, can't it be that
obvious that SOMETHING was out of the ordinary here (not necessarily
caused by extra-terrestrials) occured at my system and that it's rather
blatantly obvious that this is LOCAL BBS e-mail and not to do with this
echo area. Please refrain from notifying me that this message
was sent out all over the world. NO SHIT! This problem occured on the
weekend and has LONG since been corrected for.
PLEASE! NO MORE REPLIES OR E-MAIL REGARDING THIS!!!
Sincerely,
Michael B Abbott
SysOp, The Yak Shak BBS

THe rest is a quote of a local BBS message that posted itself to
alt.alien.visitors, followed by a message from the sysop of
said BBS. Apparantly, he was trying to email me, but it's hard to
tell..

I find it quite amusing that he REPOSTED the entire "postmaster" message...
