To Whom It May Concern
Thank you for your recent chain letter. As a matter of practice, I
don't forward these things, so you may rest assured that I've been
doomed to the pits of hellfire and damnation... or whatever your
chain letter specifies; I didn't really read through all the
forwarding addresses and quote headers to catch the exact
consequences.
It's not that I want to be cavalier about this. I suppose that
there are supernatural forces in this world which could actually
visit damnation on me. I can even imagine that some would choose to
spread their gospel through the electronic media rather than use the
primitive technology of Gutenberg to disseminate bound volumes.
But the buck stops here. I may have bought a one-way ticket across
the River Styx, but I'm not trying to sponsor a tour.
You, on the other hand, are in deep doo-doo! Did you forward this
letter to ten people? Then the best that you can hope for is that
the other nine ignored you too, and will be waiting in Hell with me
to get the SOB who sent us here. It could be worse... maybe half
the people you sent this to took your letter seriously and sent it
to ten others. Maybe half of these folks ignored the letter. Now,
instead of five folks waiting for you with mayhem on their mind, you
have 25. But it doesn't end here... there are still 25 people
cranking out the tickets to the underworld which you are responsible
for, and that might result in 125 damned souls and 125 folks who
will help propagate your instrument of soul condemnation. Pretty
soon the place is gonna get crowded with a lot of folks ticked at
YOU.
Of course, you can avoid this fate by leading a holy life and
faithfully passing on all the chain letters that you get. Or can
you? Will you ever see the last of these missives? If there aren't
enough of these chain letters already floating around, you've set up
the mechanism which ensures that you'll see them indefinitely into
the future. At some point in time, you'll weaken... maybe with age
you'll no longer be able to click on the option which forwards these
instruments of damnation... or maybe you'll run out of addresses.
Not only have you doomed yourself to a Hell on Earth as you scurry
to keep these chain letters flowing, but you're actively increasing
the reception committee just waiting for you to slip up.
I, on the other hand, may outlive you. You see, I'll be leading an
unfrenzied life doing exactly what I want... for my fate has been
already sealed by you. You probably won't need to worry about me
when when I'm cast into the pit, though. I'll be maintaining a
discrete distance. After all, _I_ am not the one who pissed off the
millions of other damned!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
=================================================================
Inquiry - Paid Advertising
Email from Kim LaSalle
KLaSalle@Shandwick.com
Dear FidoNet News Editor:
I represent a large manufacturer of pet food and wonder if you could
tell me a little more about your newsletter. My client is
relaunching the Web site in a couple of months and we're looking for
organizations and BBS in which we can place paid announcements --
not too commercial sounding, just a few lines to introduce the new
site. It's a nice site and has a lot of pet care information located
throughout it.
Do you accept advertising in your newsletter? I there another means
in which we could place paid announcements throughout your system?
Thanks in advance for the information. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Regards,
Kim LaSalle

[Editor's Reply]
Dear Kim,
Traditionally, Fidonews does not accept advertising. It's not that
we have anything against pet food or commercial enterprise, but
Fidonet is a hobbiest network. Fidonews is distributed by
individual hobbiests in that network, who volunteer their time and
effort. I'd feel kinda guilty about soliciting paid advertising and
yet watching these hobbiests move the newsletter with no
compensation.
Besides, I couldn't begin to give you demographics on our readers...
Nonetheless, I'll be publishing your letter in the next edition of
Fidonews... it lets the readers know of the advertising policy here.
If there are BBS systems aboard who are interested in working with
you, they're free to contact you.
FIDONEWS 17-32 Page 4 7 Aug 2000
By the way, there's no charge for publishing a letter - even if it
does contain information you probably would have put in an ad anyway
:)

NET HUMOR
=================================================================
The Other Side of Redneck Humor
Thanks to Roy Reed
You might be a Yankee if...
The sound of Fran Drescher's voice doesn't bother you.
You've watched the movie "Deliverance" and you're afraid to go on a
camping trip. Ever.
For breakfast, you'd rather have potatoes than grits.
You can name at least 4 hockey teams.
You've never eaten Okra.
You wonder why people in restaurants don't talk as loud as you do.
You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun & knife
show.
You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce"
correctly.
You've never had grain alcohol.
You are familiar with all the rules to Lacrosse.
You have no idea what a polecat is.
You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle.
You've never had bangs.(ed. note - OR if you do have them, they
aren't several inches ABOVE the top of your head)
You'd rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags.
You don't have at least one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house.
You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get
his own TV fishing show.
You refer to two or more people as "you guys" instead of "y'all".
You think more money should go to important scientific research at
your university than to pay the salary of the head football coach.
You prefer a bagel over a donut.
You don't know anyone with two first names (i.e. Joe Bob, Billy
Bob,Kay Bob, Bob Bob, Sara Jane)
FIDONEWS 17-32 Page 9 7 Aug 2000
You get freaked out when strangers in public talk to you.
None of your fur coats are made with real fur.
You don't know what a Piggly-Wiggly is.
You think NASCAR stands for the North American Society
for...(something)
You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
Your idea of a perfect meal is "Lahbsta and Clam Chawdah."
You use the horn in your car more than once or twice a year.
Everything you know about the Civil War you learned watching TV.
You don't "reckon".
You're not "fixin" to do anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Water Closet Origin
Thanks to Roy Reed
BEIJING - Britain's claim to have invented the water closet went
down the drain with the discovery of a 2,000-year-old toilet
complete with running water, a stone seat and a comfortable armrest.
Officials say the antique latrine was found in the tomb of a king of
the Western Han Dynasty, located in the central province of Henan.
The king ruled from 206 BC to 24 AD and was said to believe that his
soul would need to enjoy human life after death. London plumber
Thomas Crapper has frequently been credited with the invention of
the flush toilet and patented a U-bend siphoning system for flushing
the pan in the late 19th century.
[It was not mentioned whether a stack of ancient magazines were
found next to the latrine.]
