I thought someone would get a kick out of that.. I was cracking up as
I wrote it.

Now hopefully it doesn't misbehave too much.  It already backfired
once.  When I posted the script to the list, it was echoed back to me
(as all list messages are), and the script was triggered by itself
because it contained all the key phrases it was looking for.  So my
autoresponder sent an etiquette lecture to myself :) Fortunately the
infinite loop protection code worked (though it won't work in all
cases).
