Humor ListServer Weekly Report - 11/30/97 to 12/06/97 HUMOR Digest - 7 Dec 1997 to 8 Dec 1997

Subject:  HumorList Traffic Report

Hi, everyone! This is Jim Moore Jr (the "other" Jim), with this week's Traffic Report. I took over the duties of traffic reporting from Jim Goldman (jimphynn@MINDSPRING.COM) on November 9th. Jim, who did such a fine job for so long is taking some time off from the task.

Those of you who read the list regularly know I've been posting on here for just over a year now, and I shall try to fill Jim Goldman's shoes. I have been sending this to the contributors' list weekly, and once a month, the report is sent to the entire list.

You are invited to become a contributor if you're not already. All you do is send LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command GET HUMOR GUIDE and take the test at the end of it. The rules are largely governed by netiquette, and therefore protects the freedom of expression of our contributors, as long as they don't become quarrelsome or unruly.

One thing that concerns me about our HumorList is the steady decline in readership over the past year. I attribute it to the vast number of humor mailings now available. One fellow maintains a Web Page where he lists over 200 choices. I think our list is unique in that it is so diversified globally, unlike most. I have a suggestion for y'all. If you forward the list to others, why not ask them if they wouldn't rather get it direct and have them sign up if they so choose.


If you have any questions, please email me at jimjr@pipeline.com Being new at this, I may have to obtain the answer to your question myself, but please bear with me on that. I'm here to prove that old dogs can indeed learn new tricks.
