*NOW EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME:* *"I won't get bad luck, lose my friends, lose my mailing lists, hear any music or see colors if I don't forward this. Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria Secret doesn't know anything about a gift certificate they're supposed to send me and Ford will not give me a 50% percent discount even if I HAVE forwarded my e-mail to more than 50 people. There is no kid with cancer through the Make a Wish program in England collecting anything. He did when he was 7 yrs old. He is now cancer free and 35 years old and DOESN'T WANT ANYMORE POSTCARDS, CALLING CARDS OR GET WELL CARDS! The government does not have a bill in congress called 901B (or whatever they named it this week) that if passed will enable them to charge us 5 cents for every sent e-mail. There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful flower, character, or program I will receive immediately after I forward this. People are just trying to talk me into doing it to make me look like a fool. The American Red Cross will not donate 50 cents to a certain individual dying of some never heard of before disease for every email address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations, they don't donate! And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending things on to my friends for fear they will think I am not their friend...or by telling me I have no conscious or don't believe in Jesus Christ. If God wants to send me a message, I believe the bushes in my yard will burn before he picks up a PC to pass it along...but even if it does come by e-mail, HE will send me one at which point I'm SURE I will know it will be from HIM. AND if he does, I'm sure he will care enough to delete all those annoying forwarded '<<<<<<<<' in it!" Now, repeat this 4 times to yourself until you've memorized it and then send it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next full moon or you will be eaten by a werewolf!*

While the subject line labelling of this posting is appropriate, this is type of posting has not been made on this list in the 9 years that I have been here. I don't see any connection to Clare. Rather it is a general chat-type. We can all chat about all sorts of things, but this list is for Clare-oriented postings. Bringing up topics of purely personal interest runs the risk of offending people who do not share your perspective on such things. As such, it is not worthwhile. As it is, the reader can either dismiss it as silly or make a posting to react to what you stated on one of the many things you included, and that can descend into flaming. Please exercise restraint and stay on topic. I am sure that you, Chris, do not want to be harmful. As the header shows, you belong to other lists, where you can find an outlet for this kind of thing.
