I > hope everyone can understand the necessity/urgency of the situation. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This situation is not urgent. This drivel has been circulating for over a year. Craig Shergold, the Guiness Book of World Records, the hospital, the post office and many others have been pleading for people to STOP sending cards. If I see this one more time, I'm going to devote the rest of my life to developing a /dev/cattleprod that works through a network connection. However, there is a FAX number :-) The *only* reason I am posting at all is to try to convince people to remove this dreck from any and all computer storage media. A blowtorch might be appropriate. PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS ANY FURTHER!
