Dane Jensen enlightened us with these words of wisdom:
>Is it me, or is forward only used for forwarding stuff like this?

<snip humor>

No, Offices use it to forward the messages ,their ten line Sig, as well as
the ten line sigs of the last ten people to forward it, and of course, the
messages are in revers-logical order (i.e. the newest response is on top,
and the original message is at the bottom) so you have no clue what everyone
is talking about by the time it come to you anyway.

Sigh.

Don't forget to add that the messages are only one-liners. It's not the 30
people playing quake, or the 100 d/ling the latest warez that clogs up a
corparate backbone, it's the stupid exec's e-mail.

Hmmm...anyone have house rules based on Dilbert? You know, have the
Johnsons be total idiots. Add some humor and take a break off from the
serious runs and go one some dinky thing a wise Johnson thought of.

Example: With supplies on paper in a decline, the availbilty of two-ply
toilet paper is at a record low, and the runners have to bring back 100 or
so rolls of the stuff. (Or some other thing, take examples from Dilbert)

Yea..What's up with that??? The mailer I have at work will do this on
a reply as well..A special effort has to be made to make things flow
in a logical order..I though even though programmers are a different
species they were supposed to be on our side....
