NYCT has nothing to do with this. The bot that generated this notice is at flowserve.com, not at nyct.net. Someone is subscribed to this list in a fashion such that the list distribution passes through flowserve.com for delivery. Quite possibly the bot's *intended* recipient is this someone. Possibly also the bot can't tell the difference between private email (in which case a notification to the originator might be appropriate) and a mailing list distribution. I don't know. What I do know is that the old days are over, where one could pursue this in private email with a reasonable chance of addressing someone clueful. Stupidities like this continue to occur because people *don't* know and *don't* care. Maybe *public* ridicule and opprobrium - the clue-by-four that seems increasingly necessary these days - could make a difference.
