Re: ADMIN: Posting Rules Reminder

["Parker, Cassandra M. (EXCH)" <CMPARKER -at- INTERMEDIA -dot- COM>]

Eric,

Is there a place where cute, interesting, or funny things can be posted
(that you know of) because some people do enjoy them.

Thanks,
 Cassandra Parker

>     * Do not directly attack anyone for anything on the list.
