A software engineer from suburban Philadelphia launched an e-mail on Iraq, specifically Saddam Hussein, asking him to join the allied forces against terrorism. Expecting to get a response from that "mailer daemon" guy, he allegedly got a response from the "Baghdaddy" instead. Christopher Love said Saddam expressed his sympathies for the victims of the 9/11 attacks and wrote "God has created us and to Him we return. May God give you a long life." No word if the new e-pals plan to meet in person. >> CLICK: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011023/od/email_dc_1.html >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sponsored by Trend Micro<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Get 5% off the #1 anti-virus solution in the Groupware market.
