Please, no matter how amusing you think something like this is, don't forward it to an entire mailing list! Pretty much everyone with an email account has already seen it, we don't need to see it again. People join mailing lists for a specific topic, let's try to respect that. Here is a link to the "discussion groups" section on one of the more definitive guides to netiquette. Now might be a good time to re-read it: http://www.fau.edu/netiquette/net/dis.html And before you reply with the predictable "but I thought it was funny," please consider this quote from the above noted guide: "When someone posts an off-subject note, and someone else criticizes that posting, you should NOT submit a gratuitous note saying 'well, I liked it and lots of people probably did as well and you guys ought to lighten up and not tell us to stick to the subject'." thanks, kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint, MTS 408-752-9284 Chromatic Research kflint@chromatic.com http://www.chromatic.com
