Then another you or me in a parallel universe would receive duplicated
messages, respl. all of us would receive multiple messages, if this
would be done by several you or me. We would get rid of the messages
from our universe, but receive several new from the multiverse. Let
alone that feedback might be possible, if so, we actually would receive
an endless amount of the original emails we moved to /dev/blackhole.
Such blackhole loops could be misused for advanced DDoS or e-mail chain
letters.
