This is a (not so) gentle reminder to PLEASE PLEASE not send my =
attachments back when you reply to these emails. While replies and =
emails in general are strongly encouraged, I already have the pictures I =
send, I don't need them sent back to me. The technical difficulties I =
face getting connected out here are almost absurd. I consider 10 =
minutes of uninterrupted connection at 28.8 to be a great day. So while =
you are sitting in your ergonomically correct chairs sending today's 8MB =
MPEG joke to all of your friends over a T1 line, remember that I don't =
have access to that kind of bandwidth. Downloading emails that should =
take about 2 minutes is taking almost 30, and sitting in the cold on a =
park bench with my laptop plugged into the side of a pay phone is not =
why I came out here. So, in the future, those not complying with this =
request will be removed from the list (exceptions may be made for those =
submitting rambling groveling apologies that can be forwarded to the =
entire community, or cash donations). In the event that the =
perpetrators are unaware of the error of their ways, I am including a =
list of the most recent offenders:
Rob Cook (although he did realize it and send an apology)
Bruce Lyons
Terri Carulli
Rhett Edwards
AND, worst of all...
Chris Sharron - who did it twice with the same message, in what can only =
be perceived as an attempt to compensate for feelings of inferiority =
about his University of Wisconsin education, sent this addendum to his =
correct answer of Archduke Ferdinand as the trigger for the start of =
WWI:
"In reality there were many other reasons that led to this war, some =
occurring as far back the late 1800's. Nationalism, militarism, =
imperialism, and the system of alliances were four main factors that =
pressed the great powers towards this explosive war. Nationalism is the =
love of one's country rather that the love of a native region. =
Throughout the 1800's many national groups that were driven by =
nationalism tried to unite by governments controlled by their own =
people. However, this desire to unite all the people of a nation under =
one government had devastating possibilities in Europe, where one =
government often ruled many nationalities. This is one important reason =
for the start of the Great War.=20
I felt I needed to add more to my original answer."
I think Mr. Sharron should spend more time working and less time surfing =
on-line encyclopedias for intellectual quotes that he can pass off as =
his own in his emails. For those of you wishing to pile on additional =
humiliation, you can email Chris at: Chris.Sharron@hjheinz.com
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from everybody ;-)
Peace
Glenn
P.S. For those of you horrified at the public humiliation delivered in =
this email, Chris will probably laugh the hardest of all
