Somewhere in July a relay was opened here inadvertently; it
was closed last week or so, but I got ORBS'd about 3 weeks
ago andf had to unsubscribe 2 people out of rougly 3000
subscribers to various lists here. I'm not convinced
ORBS is that usefull and offer this up for your amusement
after mentioning I had the thrill of unsubscribing
Adam Todd from the ORSC technical list due to ORBS:

I have found that there is a very high correlation between people who
subscribe to ORBS and people that I don't want to talk to. I've had at
least 20 joyous bounce messages like this on my various lists.
