From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: HumorList Weekly Traffic Report
Recently, our readership has been declining at approximately 100 members a week. The upsurge in the past two weeks is due to free "plugs" courtesy of Rodney & Cathy's Joke List with over 18,000 subscribers and Geoffrey's (Jeff) AllWorld's Joke of the Day, received by 40,000+ people.
Last week, I asked the contributors for their thoughts on increasing our membership. This week, I'd like to pose the same question to y'all. I would appreciate any and all ideas.
Just a reminder that each Traffic Report contains a summary of the rules and the most widely used ListServer commands.

And now for a contribution of humor:
With the advent of Fall in the US, a lot of people's thoughts are turning to college. It is true that it's been many a year since I graduated (magna cum lucky), and although I did go to a few of the reunions, I've kind-of given up attending. So many of my former classmates are both fat & wrinkled, with such poor eyesight and bad memories, they don't even recognize me anymore.
E-mail me if your country is not listed here.
