JeffS carpal tunnel Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2858 Loc: Atlanta, GA	I just received a mass email to our entire (thousands of users) organization. The very last line stated, "I apologize for any incontinence." Oops. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

peter carpal tunnel Registered: 13/07/2000 Posts: 4180 Loc: Cambridge, England	I just received a mass email to our entire (thousands of users) organization. The very last line stated, "I apologize for any incontinence." I must be missing something here -- "incontinence" seems to me a perfectly apt metaphor for emailing thousands of people at once...
