Aha. In that case, the rest of my post it total nonsense - don't worry 
about it. Perhaps I'm getting too used to mailing lists where not 
everybody knows how to construct a sentance (or spell, or possibly 
talk), since I sometimes start making "creative" reinterpretations. 
Locked -> "caused to lock up/crash" for example. Sorry.

I'm increasingly inclined to refuse to even read any post that doesn't:
(a) Actually capitalize words
(b) Make some attempt to correct typos and spelling errors
(c) Use more than one sentance
(d) Include a description of the problem and their system
(e) Attempt to make sense - stream-of-consciousness is not cool in a 
technical email.
(f) Use a vaguely useful subject line, instead of "Help!!!! Urgent!!!!"
Especially, as is common on the XFree86 at xfree86.org list for example, if 
it then ends with "I look forward to your prompt reply," "Urgent!!!," 
"Your immediate attention," "Thanks for answering," etc.

They can't even be bothered putting in the effort to write something 
that isn't gibberish, then they expect someone to put the effort in to 
decode their garbage and fix their problem. I believe it was Jacqueline 
who was saying a while ago that some people just don't seem able to 
grasp the concept "we're all volunteers here".

Hmm... a filter something like
m/^Subject:\s+(help|urgent|problem)\!*$/
would cut out a fair bit of it... tempting.
