I've been seeing this type of message sent back to me by majordomo
1.94.5 and exim 3.16 since I installed it in June or so....it doesn't
appear to be a REAL error since the digests are created and do go out
but its VERY annyoing...any ideas on what causes this or how to fix
it? I'm stumped....

>Dick Armey is my congressman--meaning I live in his district and get to
>vote against him every two years. Last Wednesday (20 December) I sat in
>on the taping of two episodes of "McCuistion," on which Armey was a
>panelist.
>
>"McCuistion" originates here in Dallas and is syndicated on PBS.
>Locally the show comes on Sundays at 1 p.m. and 11 p.m. Each episode is
>one hour and features themes of popular interest. The two episodes
>taped last week concerned the ABM project and the Republican Revolution.
>
>I have previously worked in the aviation ordnance division on the USS
>Randolph and the USS Kitty Hawk, so I know a little about munitions. I
>have also worked on guided missile programs for Texas Instruments, so I
>know a little about the problem of hitting the target.
>
>Nearly ten years ago we all watched as Patriots battled Scuds in the
>skies over the Middle East. What a show! Incomming streaks of light in
>the sky were met with outgoing streaks of light, and when the two
>converged there was a spectacular aerial show. Later more rational
>heads informed us that not a single Scud was stopped.
>
>This makes a lot of sense, based on what I know. An incoming warhead is
>just a falling bomb. The Patriot missile is an anti-aircraft missile.
>The Patriot was designed to take out its target by exploding at or near
>the aircraft. The warhead (if it is like most anti-aircraft missiles)
>is really not the head of the missile but is a section of the missile
>tube. They usually put some guidance stuff in the nose. The "warhead"
>is a fragmentation bomb, explosive wrapped in a metal shell designed to
>break into chunks of the right size. The fragments tear through
>aircraft frames taking out control surfaces, control lines, and fuel
>lines and killing the crew. The aircraft, thus disabled, crashes and is
>unable to complete its mission. This is what the Patriot was designed
>to do. This why it did not work against the Scuds.
>
>To defeat an incoming Scud you can't just wreck the Scud missile. The
>power and control functions are already shut down, and in fact the
>warhead has already separated from the main missile body. The warhead
>is coming down. It will hit and explode if you don't explode it first.
>This the Patriot could not do. In order to explode the Scud warhead you
>need to make a direct hit on it. And maybe more.
>
>In naval warfare it is often necessary to attack armored ships. To do
>this the Navy uses armor piercing bombs. These bombs have heavy casings
>of hard metal. Only about 25% of the bomb weight is explosive. The
>bomb strikes the ship's armor plate with tremendous force and breaks
>through. A timed fuse detonates the bomb a few milliseconds after the
>initial impact. If the bomb goes of on impact it's mostly wasted.
>Therefore you need an explosive that can withstand that kind of shock
>without detonating. The Navy (in those days) used picric acid as the
>explosive in AP bombs for this reason.
>
>Likely Saddam's Scuds did not have such warheads, but it is easy to
>imagine how easy it would be to defeat the Patriot with a simple Patriot
>resistant warhead. I thought so, too, and said as much in a letter to
>the local newspaper back in 1994.
>
>Brings us back to Star Wars. The ABM has a similar problem. To defeat
>an incoming BM you have to:
>
>1. Correctly locate the incoming warhead (out of a number of possible
>decoys or out of a number of duplicate warheads).
>
>2. Make a direct hit on the warhead to detonate it (in the case of a
>conventional warhead) or close enough to wreck the nuclear warhead. Fat
>chance of actually causing the nuke to detonate.
>
>For this and other reasons many sensible heads have labeled Star Wars a
>boondoggle. History has shown this to be the case. Since about 1986 we
>have spent billions on such programs with nothing to show for our
>expense. Dick Armey wants us to spend billions more.
>
>Here's how he sells it: "We want our children to be safe" he says.
>Further, he says that he knows it can be done. How? With the modern
>technology we have there's no reason we can't do it. He points out that
>a mere child can point and click a mouse and open a Web site on the
>other side of the world. If we can do that, we can do Star Wars
>(according to Mr. Armey).
>
>During a break in the taping I had a chance to talk to some of the
>others in the audience. I felt like a whore in church. This was a
>solidly Republican herd. One person agreed with me that the most we
>could buy was something that stopped 90% of the incoming (very generous
>in my opinion). "OK, you save San Francisco, Dallas, and Des Moines,
>but you lose Chicago" I pointed out. "I can live with that" he agreed.
>"We can rebuild. This is war."
>
>I tried to reconcile such thinking with Armey's desire to "make our
>children safe." Much discussion was made by other panelists about the
>types of enemies we need to protect ourselves against. The point was
>well made that we are not battling an organized superpower like the
>former USSR. We need to protect ourselves against blackmail from
>"rogue" states such as North Korea and Iraq. Would these countries
>seriously engage the US in a "war" as my Republican acquantance
>implied? Would it really be worth losing Chicago just to put such a
>pipsqueak power in its place? Somewhere, I feel, purpose is getting
>lost.
>
>Check out the program if it airs in your area. We should get back to
>this duscussion after others have had a chance to see what Mr. Armey had
>to say on this occasion. Locally the two episodes will air on 14 and 21
>January. Also, look for me. I'm the whitehaired guy in the very blue
>shirt.
