I did NOT email Bruce Morrow, I posted a followup on:
gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general, which sent it to the mailing list:
fedora-list at redhat.com
Which inserted MANY mailing list header lines and Resent it to it's 
subscribers ...including Bruce Morrow...

I've heard of one challenge response system smart enough to avoid the BAD 
behavior of sending such challenge responses to indirect senders...
http://www.tmda.net/

Here is a quote concerning the difference between TMDA and the not so
revolutionary SpamRival.com service:
