I have to agree with you. Although I can't stand people senselessly bashing
anyone just because they don't want to get involved with them personally,
I agree that all the 'cut-and-paste' mass mailings get a bit old.  I read
most of them that come accross my mail slot, (I get bored easy) and last
week I actually saw one that was original!  Granted, this was after seeing
three 'MAKE BIG MONEY AT HOME' messages from three different people, the
only differences being in the reply addresses.  I mean, a bit of originality
spices things up, right?  Perhaps there should be a newsgroup for these
people. Perhaps news:alt.chainletters-art would work.  It could give people
hints on how to liven up any chain letter! Maybe if people get original 
enough, some people will actually read a peice of mail called 'MAKE $50,000
WITHOUT LEAVING THE HOUSE'!

(and to make the post somewhat relavant to this group, I changed my SIG)
