A software engineer from suburban Philadelphia launched an e-mail on Iraq, specifically Saddam Hussein, asking him to join the allied forces against terrorism. Expecting to get a response from that "mailer daemon" guy, he allegedly got a response from the "Baghdaddy" instead. Christopher Love said Saddam expressed his sympathies for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and wrote, "God has created us and to Him we return. May God give you a long life." No word if the new e-pals plan to meet in person. >> CLICK: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011023/od/email_dc_1.html ::::::::::::::::::: SEARCHSOLARIS CONTACTS ::::::::::::::::::: MICHELLE WEBB, Site Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your original article ideas and best practices. ____________________________________________________________________ MARK BRUNELLI, Assistant Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your technical tips and favorite Web sites. ____________________________________________________________________ JACK PICKELL, News Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your news, press releases and product announcements. ____________________________________________________________________ GABRIELLE DERUSSY (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Sponsor this or any other TechTarget newsletter. ____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::::::::: ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER ::::::::::::::::::::: Created by TechTarget (http://www.techtarget.com) TechTarget - The Most Targeted IT Media Copyright 2001, All Rights Reserved.
