Subject: [Care2002-developers] [Humor] newsgroup behavior

This is a humoristic view of the dynamics of a special interest email
list, like a health related list.
Warning: those boring creatures with a censor vein please read 156 and 3
first.
See it this way, how could one operate an open source health information
system in a dark hospital room without a working light bulb?
This post even has a nice [Humor] tag that enables it to be filtered
out, or, if you need even better protection from distracting
(enlightening?) emails just filter out this poster email address.
