I'd say it's both - but abuse is certainly called for in some 
situations.  You can't expect to break social rules and get no response 
at all.  Sending out-of-office autoreplies in response to list posts is 
very bad form indeed, and completely unnecessary.

And before we hear the feeble whining about not being able to fix it 
because someone else set it up and you can't fix it, get a grip.  If you 
can't make email do what you want, perhaps a non-email based forum is 
more appropriate for you.
