And it came to pass that on 09 Dec 95 01:54,
Andy@Wbgl.Demon.Co.Uk spake these words unto All::

An> to inflict on us ?
I don't know. However, I think I must have seen at least five in
the past two months. They are invariably extremely widely
distributed and almost all carry a notice that they are really
legal -- which is about as good as the paper they're not written
on <grin>.
I dare say that chain letters were not anticipated by the sci fi
writers of years past who anticipated world-wide computer networks
<grin>. I certainly didn't anticipate them and didn't even see
them (with the notorious Dave Rhodes exception) in profusuion
until this spring. Wonder what happened? Do you suppose it has to
do with the ozon hole?
