Humans who interfere with email (several of my messages passed through that
server during said 2.5 hours, including a photo in the same format, AND an email
to the admin at mit.edu due to the initial bounce went unanswered during that
time) are known to suck eggs with much more proficiency than any machines, *nix
or not. That counts double for BSOFHs who do not work for the DHS or its local
equivalent and do it anyway for fun or out of aquired compulsion, without being
under strict orders. I think that they released the images in disgust, seeing
that I had created a webpage for them in the mean time and uploaded them anyway.

there, I feel better now,
Peter
