- I see there has been a recent influx of
- abuse at the posting that suggests we stick
- to putting jokes in aus.jokes, and send mail
- to those who don't.
-
- Well the original was written when I was
- totally frustrated at reading several non-joke
- postings, and consequently was done in haste.
-
- The idea is to send mail to people that incorrectly
- use aus.jokes. I mean who really cares what it says,
- just so long as they know (or find out) that they
- should not have done.
-
- Get the idea now!!!!!!
-
- Write anything, but just let them know.
-
- So anyone who posts to say it should be
- riposte not repost and all that sort
- of crap, can change their OWN message
- (as I have done after calming down).
-
- I tried to keep the message general (but there will
- always be times when it is not right) so all
- I do is mail the file. As far as I can work out
- this will only bother people that receive it, and
- this is the whole point (to make people realize aus.jokes
- is for jokes).
-
- Have a good one
-
- Bye
