Humor ListServer Annual Report - 1997 HUMOR Digest - 28 Dec 1997 to 29 Dec 1997

From:      Jim Moore Jr
Subject:  HumorList Annual Traffic Report

Not to end the year on a sour note, but I thought maybe y'all might be interested in viewing this chart I compiled concerning our list's status. The numbers which leap off the page are a decline in members of over 20 %.

While it is true we're competing with over 200 other joke lists, you'd be hard pressed to find any that are as open to freedom of ideas and expression as this one. Almost all require contributors to submit their jokes to a moderator and then he/she decides what gets posted and what doesn't.

And now for a contribution of humor:

May I wish y'all a Happy New Year or for those that could possibly be offended by that...

A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, & medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 1998, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose efforts and contributions have helped make our list a great one, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious/sexual preferences, IQ or MHZ speed of their computers.
