Monkeys, not idiots.  Idiots can't write code 
to do that stuff.  It takes a well-trained 
monkey who isn't a long term thinker.  Monkeys 
can master incredibly complex tasks, worry 
and fret just like you and me, and have all 
the same power/dominance cravings.  They aren't 
bad, they are just... monkeys.  Give them a 
banana and they will learn any trick you 
care to teach as long as it doesn't hurt them 
personally.

Our closest genetic relatives are bonobos and 
chimps.

What puzzled me more was it not being clear /who/ was sending the error
messages.  From what appeared it was the list software.  More diligent checking
of the header reveals it's some software called 'Interscan' at one of the
subscribers.

Must... resist... the temptation... to see what other words will trip their
filters...

Idiots.
