Or, in other words, PDP-6 (which had a whopping 256 kilowords of main
memory, more than enough to run spam harvester software).
There is a sort of poetic justice in including that email address in the
message. Since Mr. Fong's broken instructions on installing ssh caused so
much "spam" to be sent to this list, it's only fair that some will now go
his way... Also, the lucky ones that do get chastized for using his
directions are set on the right path by the people on this list, but think
of all the hapless souls blissfully unaware of the error of their ways
that continue to run ssh according to those instructions (until something
breaks, that is).
