Agreed.  While someone said we should exercise tolerance with these
annoying messages let's not forget common politeness and netiquette.  'out
of office' messages are not appropriate.

For those companies who feel that an out of office reply is required, let
me say that they are just a way of saying, "Nobody is the system right
now, it's a great time to launch a computer attack."  This may be less
true today than it was when the only networked machines were those that
you didn't reboot every day.
