You've got a point. Maybe I was overheated that day.

Well, "courtesy" is probably not what I owe them. Perhaps "don't
kill on sight" is what you mean. You see, I get too much spam,
and, being a postmaster who gets too much spam complaints (first,
because of a historic incident, I sometimes get complaints about
spam from every random domain under .il; second, I do get spam
reports from our (cs.huji) users), I'm really really mad at
spammers. Therefore, I'm sometimes in kill-on-sight mode,
instead of education mode which sometimes helps (I hope).
