---- Begin included message ----

(No, I won't be that perverse... ;-)


What is it about these chain letters (I'm sorry, I mean "This is not 
a chain letter, please forward...") that annoys most?
Is it the fact that people send them to you, or the fact that people
never delete the ---- Begin included message ---- headers?

It seems that these messages seem to grow in size, picking up 
non-consenting (and possibly less gullible) parties' e*mail 
addresses as they go, and probably arriving eventually in the 
in*boxes of spammers.

With the aid of the find command and the enter key I counted 376
addresses in this message alone (SOMEONE CALL GUINNESS !!!!!)



This can only mean three things

1) A certain group of people will be reciving slightly more 
   promotional email in the not too near future.

2) Sarah Blake is a thoroughly lazy bastard! (amongst others)

3) ...and that I have way too much time on my hands!
