A lesser-known side-effect is that borken autoresponders on such lists
virulently /spam/ said lists, as quickly as they take to cycle through
each incoming list message.  Truly borken autoresponders respond even to
their own autoresponses; I trust I don't need to paint a mental picture
for everyone as to what happens then...

But let's see if it ever get to that.  8-)
