I recieved a polite mail asking me to remove my vcard for my mail.  I am
very mixed on this type of restriction.  I rember when I was the first
one on my team to use html mail.  Boy did I get flamed!  First because I
sent something out that not everybody could parse, and second because
they didn't know how to do it.  Now all of them use it, and wouldn't
know what to do without it.  I like using this new technology.  The
vcard is slick.  I send mail to addresses other than mailing lists and
news groups.  I like to have my vcard in that mail.  I'm certainly not
going to take the time to enable and disable this feature every time I
send mail.  I guess it is a bit ugly when it comes across as plain
text.  Ok, so I will disable it for now on my home systems.  I will
still use it at work.  It is my electronic business card.

As for my sig file.  I know it's a bit long as well, but who could
complain about what I'm pointing to.  I thought about moving it all to a
URL and pointing to that, but I want the links in your face.  As far as
the poem goes, here's the whole thing.  You should find a copy of the
Moody Blues' On the Threshold of a Dream and listen to it in order to
get a better understanding.

In the Beginning, by Graeme Edge January 19, 1969

First Man:
                I think,
                I think I am,
                therefore I am.
                I think?

Establishment:
               Of course you are my bright little star.
               I'm miles
               And miles
               Of files
               Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
               And now to suit our
               Great computer
               You're magnetic ink.

First Man:
                I'm more than that,
                I know I am,
                at least,
                I think I must be.

Inner Man:
                There you go, man, keep as cool as you can.
                Face piles
                Of trials
                With smiles
                It riles them to believe
                That you perceive
                The web they weave
                AND KEEP ON THINKING FREE!

I think.
I think I am,
Therefore I am.
