Mr. Blevins' fifth grade class learned more about exponential growth than
geography with this project. A member of another mailing list I'm on
received this reply when she wrote to the class.
"Help stop the madness...from Mr. Blevins' Class 10/7/99
We are using the autoresponder feature of our email account to send out a big
THANK YOU for helping us with our project. We have received over 22,000
emails since Sept. 21. The response has been overwhelming and we have really
enjoyed it. PLEASE HELP US by not forwarding our message. If you have
already forwarded it, we would really appreciate it if you would forward
another message to your friends and let them know that we are soon going to
allow our email account to stay closed....please mark your subj line as
URGENT or something like that."
