[net.women] Mailing list shenanigans

 This is a bit far from the subject, but I think it is amusing, and
I thought I would post it to the net.
 When I was an undergraduate student in the early 70s I lived on
campus in a dormitory named "Cambridge" (sp? its been a while).
Most dorms on the UOM campus are divided into "sections".  I therefore
lived in "Cambridge A".  One day we got mail addressed to:

   Mr. Cambridge A. Lounge

needless to say, the campus post office delivered it to our lounge!
 Later I took a full time job with the University.  One day a letter
made the rounds and all the computer freaks, knowing exactly how A.I.
programs work (or seem to), were highly amused.  The letter was 
addressed to:

   Dr. Univ Of, MD
