What's worse: this idiot's reply is a canned one, exactly the same word 
for word and character for character as on another list that this idiot 
spammed.

Check out the "gnu-darwin.org" mailing lists. Absolutely nothing technical 
on them, it's all political spam and other nonsense. Stuff that is 
absolutely offtopic and absolutely does not belong here.
