With the ten year anniversary of Slashdot upon us, I thought I'd dig this out of the mail archives:

From: slashdot@slashdot.org
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 12:09:27 -0800 (PST)
To: allenw
X-Mailer: Perl Mail::Sender Version 0.6.7
Subject: Slashdot user password for allenw

The user account 'allenw' on http://slashdot.org has this email
associated with it. A web user from (IP Address) has
just requested that password be sent. It is 'LJAFxKRW'.
You can change it after you login at http://slashdot.org/users.pl

---Posting Rules----------------------------------------------
1. Stay on topic.
2. Don't flame people.
3. Don't be a potty mouth.

None of these are concrete black & white issues, but we reserve
the right to delete comments that violate them. We're not willing
to get sued over what you post. And frankly, we don't want Slashdot
to degenerate to what usenet usually is like. So don't do stupid things
like 'first comment' crap.

--- FAQs-------------------------------------------------------
1. Why did you delete my comment?
      A. See the rules above.
2. Why didn't my comment appear?
      A. Have you waited a couple minutes? If so, contact
      demaagd@slashdot.org
3. Why didn't you post my story/why did someone else get
      credit for my story?
      A. Sorry, we get hundreds of submissions a day and
      sometimes we just can't post everything. And believe
      it or not, you might not have been the first one to
      submit story X.
