After reading the handful of messages that made it through lne.com's filters, I double-checked my "trash" directory to see what my own filters had thrown away. Some kind of new record: 18 messages from Choate, posted during just a 2-hour period this morning. From the headers, most look to be Choategrams giving us pointers to what Yahoo or CNN make readily available. (One pulled at random: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/ap/20010721/wl/summit_protests_46.html "Summit Protests Rage for Second Day") Gee, Choate, how would we know about yesterday's news, reported widely, discussed here, if you didn't pass on a pointer to Yahoo? Some would call it mail-bombing the list to disrupt it. Perhaps. But I expect it's just plain cluelessness. Some kind of "URL Tourette's Syndrome."
