This brings back memories.<br>
I remember a Perl guy who had a habit of filling <br>
up the Inbox of anybody he took a disliking to. <br>
For some unknown reason he took a disliking to<br>
me - imagine that :-) I had to write a script, <br>
not Perl as I recall, that signed on the modem <br>
every 15 minutes, downloaded the e-mails, and threw <br>
away all his e-mails. That went on for about a week <br>
and then he finally quit when it never filled up.<br>
