This very thing came up on the mgs list last weekend. My comment was then 
and remains now. That it is the offtopic stuff that gets us through the 
long nights and short cold days of winter - when ever winter is - where 
ever you may be. I can hit delete as fast as anyone and maybe faster than 
most (well over 100 messages each am from 4 very verbose lists). And 
thats just the total from 5PM to 8AM EST!! Let alone what comes in during 
the day. And Monday?!?!?!?

Oh well this is the kind of message eric was complaining about.

Keep those cards and letters coming!!
