I'm forwarding the following post from alt.personals, without comment.

You have mxsst1@vms.cis.pitt.edu, aka anonymus+1118, to thank for this.

It seems that "the red flag is raised."  Whereas local facilities
staff had previously been aware of, and (perhaps grudgingly) condoned
the existence of, anonymus@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu (I mean, crud, the
local Manager of Systems Programming had given his "seems innocuous
enough" about it)...

As of this morning, and due specifically to complaints about the
above-named user, facilities staff have gained an entirely new
awareness and perspective, being an utter distaste for the service's
existence.  Godiva has (rather abusively, in my opinion) been forced
into standards compliance with the rest of cs.cmu.edu, and I have been
ordered to dismantle the system.

You have 24 hours in which to contact correspondents and either
exchange real email addresses or else find other means by which to
remain in contact.

Apologies to the vast majority of legitimate, decent users of the
system, some 3068 people.  And may the few abusers of it, who managed
to be its downfall even being such a minority, just rot in hell.

I want to know something REALLY IMPORTANT...  Has pitt.edu got some
sort of hammerlock on the "Highest Population Density of Publicly
Abusive Email Users" award?  Between this jackass and our good friend
of the alt.personals photo fiasco, not to mention a couple of private
complaints I've had, you'd think nearly the entire population of the
world's email morons lived about 5 blocks from where I now sit.

Eight weeks, birth to death.
