True, it is not a "commercial", and it certainly isn't pornographic, and even though it is "cute", it certainly doesn't belong on a genealogy oriented mailing list, and it doesn't have any redeeming value. I might not object so much if I didn't have to scroll through so many "headers" to get to the message. If the message was right up front, I could simply hit the delete button. However, not only did I have to page down many times to read the message, but the message encouraged me to "go out there and hit as many people as you can before they get you!!" If everyone did that, we would bring the Internet to it's knees. Is that the intent of this "joke"? Is this the kind of message we want on this mailing list? I considered sending this message to the "sender" privately, but decided that it would have more effect if it was read by the entire list. I'm sorry if I embarrassed or offended anyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack W.
