-- Roger Ebert, "The Boulder Pledge" 1996

Anything that says "send it to everyone you know," find the person who sent it to you and smack them repeatedly with their own keyboard.

This wasn't unsolicted when it was sent to me, so

Too much out there to know what to take seriously sometimes. No harm no foul.
