You gotta love it..

Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This email gave me names and email addresses of at least 50 people who I don’t even know. If I was a little less scrupulous I might have been tempted to use those addresses, say to promote my site, or the Amazon links, or something worse…

Alas, I’m not that mean, but it’s something we all need to remember about forwarding email messages. Take out all that contact information!

    I completely agree with what Andy had to say about Firebird being renamed, again, to Firefox and the new release.
