A little message

The more you complain the longer God lets you live.

I remember for about two weeks in 1997 I had maybe 300-400 emails a day, not from spam, but from a mailing list. Basically, 500-600 people were CC'd on an email and everyone was responding to "STOP MAILING ME ABOUT THIS" or some combination of that. It was really amazing, especially since everyone that responded with "STOP" replied to ALL addresses, meaning the more we complained, the longer the emails lived on to duplicate itself over and over and over in our mailboxes.

Hold it, though, I don't think you quite understand the level of insanity involved. TWO WEEKS. 14 DAYS. 300-400 emails a day. It was going to make my head explode.

And the most memorable email from the nearly 5000 emails (I turned off my headers by default, and via dialup I always got to see the top three or four lines), the one that made me push a button to stop the automatic display:

The more you complain the longer God lets you live.

A lesson to us (me) all? Maybe.

In other news, if you ever want to ruin people's good time at Disney World and do something I think is pretty neat (only because the other people on the ride can complain and get to the front of the line and do it again), check the link.
