Chain Email and Weather

Ah, if only...

If everyone with an email address had at least ten friends that would soundly disabuse them of the idea that forwarding chain letters was harmless...

Then...

We would be living in a much better world. Same goes for all those advertisements we receive in the snail mail. Catalog publishers caught on to the idea; likely because their publications were often many (100) times larger than those one page fliers. Internet email is not without weight. I think most of us here have an idea of that with our member portraits being limited in size. That size is not just width and height but also a so called "weight" (measured in kilobytes or KB of data). **wanders off on a tangent about Lego blocks being an excellent analogy for bits, nibbles, and bytes....**

Next time you get a chain email, ask the sender the following question:

"Would they take a piece of junk mail (advertisements by post) that they receive, run off ten or more photo (xerographic) copies at 25 cents each and then put a 40 cent stamp them and send them to their friends by mail (post)? I think that should illuminate some of them (at least those that have "half a brain.") </RANT>

Here the weather is cooling off and we've had some rain in the past few days. It certainly seems like the season is changing. I'm glad to be out of the unbearable summer heat.
