I found this on another echo. Thought everyone'd enjoy it,
especially if you haven't come across it yet.
THE FRIENDLY GUIDE TO SAFE FAX
Dr. B. Comfortable answers some of your questions....
Q.: Doctor, I am new to fax, I have not had much fax, and I am
worried. Is it safe to have fax?
A.: Fax is perfectly safe, providing both you and your partner
maintain your equipment in good order, keep it clean and have a
regular check-up by a qualified consultant. Do not be
embarrassed at your lack of experience. There are many excellent
fax manuals available, including my own "The Joy of Fax".
Q.: About how often should I fax?
A.: Those who are new to fax often can't get enough, and do it
all the time. We usually find, however, that as we get older and
the novelty wears off, the desire for fax decreases rapidly,
particularly if we still have the same old machine. (It is not
unknown for jaded faxers to have a brief "fling" with a new,
exciting machine, but this, too, will usually burn out quite quickly.)
Q.: Can I have fax with more than one person?
A.: By all means. This is perfectly normal, even necessary in
most circumstances. It is time we cast aside our hang-ups about
fax, feel free to "let it all hang out" and share your true self
with the world.
Q.: Do I have to be married to have fax?
A.: Good Lord, no. People who hardly ever fax their wives will
spend most of their working lives faxing complete strangers.
Q.: My parents say they never had fax when they were young, and
were only allowed to write memos to each other until they were
twenty-one, is this true?
A.: Yes, but why worry about boring old twits like them?
Q.: If I fax something to myself, will I go blind?
A.: Certainly not. As far as I can see.
Q.: There is a place on our street now, where you can go and pay
to fax, is this legal?
A.: Yes. Many lonely people have no other outlet for their fax
drives and must pay a "professional" when their need for fax
becomes too strong.
Q.: What are the consequences of indiscriminate fax?
A.: Very high telephone bills.
