Oh, man, she reminds me of my sister. She means well, but when she got her
AOL account, the "funny picture/joke/story/hoax virus warning/etc. started
showing up, as you said, with 20 layers of forward. I finally had to ">"
quote the whole raw e-mail and mail it to her to make her realize what she
was really doing. I really hated to be that mean, but she wouldn't stop.

Actually, considering where our current govt. is headed, I won't be

But that's a completely different topic.
