Gee, John. Is that a hamster in your pocket or are you just happy to 
be...? If not, who is this "we?" I can think of maybe one other 
person that is concerned about "On this day." Who is this "the rest 
of us?" Shuffleboard vs basketball? Is this the kind of ageist 
bullshit you're "here to play?" 

Don't read'em! If you're using something more modern than DOS to read 
your email, put a filter on'em. Unless you're using a 2400 baud 
modem, each one takes a couple of seconds to download. Get a life. 
Grow up! 

Feel free to respond to this message cc'ing the list, but if you do, 
have the decency to fully quote this message.

Cheers,

Henry
