Well, it's not fair to conclude that those were silent did welcome his
posts[*]. They were silent, after all, and you never know what was
going on inside their *THICK* heads.

Nice idea, thanks! Procmail is great, and GPL'd too ;-)

[*] Including the entire text in a message, esp. when it's available on
the internet, is not a wise thing to do. And it becomes really foolish
if somebody repeats it after being requested not to do so. You'll find
several messages in the archives where somebody would just mention the
URL, and that's it; e.g.
http://gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-india/2001-August/000311.html
and many more .. Quoting the entire text is not a bright idea.
