Don't you love those people who forward address lists and all? I got one
with nearly 100 previous addresses included; took a while, but I notified
all of them (and the guy who sent it it to us, which p*ssed him off no
end -- but we no longer hear from him, so good riddance) of what had
happened and why it was a bad idea. Another friend who used to do this
has =finally= learned how to send his forwards out to =single addresses=
and no listing included.

Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according everybody
is the 'most reliable Windows ever.' To me, this is like saying that
asparagus is 'the most articulate vegetable ever.'
