On Slashdot there was an article [1] about two grandmothers: one who is a spammer and the other who is sick of getting spam. The grandmother who is sick of spam sure seems to have a familiar picture on the wall and has thicker scriptures than most people out there. From the looks of where her bookmark is, she's reading the New Testament, which makes sense since that's what's being taught in Sunday School. Oh, and her scriptures have the same bending binding that mine have too. :-) -Evan [1] http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/1203/14spammain.html -- /********************************************************************\ Evan McNabb: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://evan.mcnabbs.org System Administrator, CS Department, BYU GnuPG Fingerprint: 53B5 EDCA 5543 A27A E0E1 2B2F 6776 8F9C 6A35 6EA5 \********************************************************************/
