Hi,

I'm going to jump on my soapbox for a second and offer some comments/advice
to other Museum-lers.

1. If you receive a virus warning from anyone with a AOL.COM domain, ignore
it.

2. If you feel that the content of a message is relavent or important, by
all means, send it.  However _FORWARDING_ a message with the last 5,000
headers from all the other people who got it is inconsiderate and lazy.
 CUT, COPY, PASTE.

3. Dealing with SPAM.

Jay, I loved your response.  Even though most of the unsolicited junk
e-mail I receive starts with "send remove in the subject to..." claiming
that they will remove me from their mailing list I received persistent
mailings from one address.  I finally got fed up with asking to be removed
from their list and being ignored so I copied the entire (lengthy) message
and pasted it 20x into a reply.  My repetitive reply to them was about 2
megs long.  After that they never bothered me again.
