I think email jokes are a waste of bandwidth (and I am talking about the
personal bandwidth, my time, and not about the network bandwidth). I
have zero tolerance for spam, and zero tolerance for jokes. If this
mailing list becomes haunted with jokes, I'll unsubscribe it.
I do think sending these jokes is impolite at best. I am not one to cry
about OT posts, but email jokes in a mailing list is a different story.
Yes, I found that joke hilarous too. That was when windows 95 was
released. I didn't feel the Windows 98 upgrade the joke got was
particularily good (or accurate, Chicago was 95, 98 was Memphis), and I
certanly don't want to keep hearing about it still.
If you want to send jokes to people you don't know, send them to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael Ben-Nes), he seems to enjoy them.

P.S.
This email is NOT about off topic posts. It is NOT about off topic
amusing stories that happened to you. It is NOT about newbies questions.
I have nothing at all against any one of these. This is about forwarding
on jokes that were forwarded hundreds of times already.
