Computers are better at... doing what you program to, not what you want. There is still an older computer running which once hosted my mailman mailinglists for several domains.

But mailman was never removed from the startup files and the machine rebooted today, resulting in three years of mailman monthly reminders mailed at once. So if you were looking why you got old mailman reminders from virtualbookcase, this is why.
