I apoligize sincerely for not unsubscribing from this list before
leaving... I honestly thought I had unsubscribed from all of my lists
before setting up the auto-reply, I just forgot this one.  I don't
use Outlook, it was from a web client, and I didn't realize it would
send to the same sender repeatedly.

Won't happen again...  I hate those messages as much as the next guy.
