[LINK] EU gives green light to software patents

[Adam Todd]

Yes I must agree, Auto responders that respond to lists are in really bad

complain about them in the first place.

Perhaps the Moderator should un subscribe addresses that have lame stupid 
auto responders that are repetitive, menacing, and annoying.
