From:      Jim Moore Jr
Subject:  HumorList Weekly Traffic Report

Good Morning y'all, here I am again with this week's Traffic Report. This is the Weekly Traffic Report that is sent to all of the HumorList subscribers once a month.

First of all, as I told the contributors in last week's report, I must apologize to one and all for the misleading message this month on the e-mail address change-over. An important paragraph was omitted which reminded everyone that they need take no action, in-so-far as their current subscriptions are concerned. I regret the error.

Please remember though to stop using old addresses by the end of May. You should NOT have to take any action at all to continue to receive Humor either in mail or digest form either now or later.

Remember, errors returned from your Server to our ListServer may cause your name to be dropped from the list.

If you feel, at any time, you have been dropped from the list, or have stopped receiving mail from our ListServer, simply resubscribe.

You will not receive duplicate mailings to the same address; if you are already subscribed, the ListServer will verify that.

To subscribe or re-subscribe:
Send an e-mail to: listserv@listserv.uga.edu
leave the subject area blank; in the BODY of the letter,
sub humor yourfirstname yourlastname

Send all commands to: listserv@listserv.uga.edu

And now for a contribution of humor:

With more divorces in the US than marriages, a neighbor asked me the other day what was the secret to Mrs JimJr and I staying together so long. I told her, "Simple. It's all a matter of compatibility -- we both love to fight."
