Somehow, the NYPL web-based version of its mail software gets rejected by most of the listservs that I am subscribed to (I don't think that there is any plain-text option available; at least, I can't find it if it does exist), so I am re-posting this from work using the dedicated version on my PC. By now, the link may be out of date, but give it a try if you want a bit of a laugh (well, I found it hysterical; your mileage may vary).

Of course, there is the question. Why?
