The time has come......
For five years now I've sent this out before we head out for Holiday
vacations. This is something I do throughout
the year - collect taglines from Listserve signatures and from signatures
from my other emails! It's interesting to read them and maybe you'll see
yours in here. Each year the list changes as people come and go and as you
decide to change your signature messages. This is year number SIX! Enjoy
them. Maybe they'll inspire you or give you a chuckle; it's my simple
Holiday gift. If anyone would like to have any of the previous five
years.....well, by golly, I still have them!
