Well, I don't want to come off as a constant wet-blanket in this
mailing list, but I'd also note that we (RPI) specifically tell
everyone at RPI not to forward chain-letters.  Not even for good
causes, such as the poor child who's dieing and just wants to
get in the guiness book of world records for having received the
most postcards.

Now, I realize you're not trying to make a true chain letter here,
but the subject on this thread has me a little uneasy...   :-)
