Humor ListServer Weekly Report - 12/20/98 to 12/26/98 HUMOR Digest - 27 Dec 1998 to 28 Dec 1998

From:      Jim Moore Jr
Subject:  HumorList Weekly Traffic Report

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

May I wish all of you who observe the Gregorian Calendar a very Happy New Year. And at the risk of being a wet blanket, remind those who don't know, 1999 is NOT the end of this century, in spite of what you may have read or heard. The year 2000 will be the end of this century, and 2001 will begin the next -- due to the fact that there was no year "zero".

If you received a "Millennium Countdown Clock" as a gift during the Holidays, I hope you'll be able to exchange it for something useful.

Remember, if you missed or deleted a Digest, they're available (normally the same day the Digests are sent out) at:

To verify current addresses, our server randomly selects subscribers and sends an e-mail to verify the addresses. Subscribers need take no action when such a message is received.

Errors returned from your Server to our ListServer may cause your name to be dropped from the list. If you feel, at any time, that you have been dropped from the list, or have stopped receiving mail from the ListServer, simply resubscribe.

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

MESSAGE BOARD:

A Humor List rule has always been no discussion on the mailings. This is as it should be. People who subscribe to a joke list expect jokes, not banter. But as an alternate, a Message Board is now available to ALL members (and guests) who wish to comment on previously posted jokes or those who enjoy a forum format: www.InsideTheWeb.com/mbs.cgi/mb212137

It is NOT intended as a site to leave messages or questions for the ListOwners, nor is it an alternate site to post jokes, but a place for messages intended for the entire membership's viewing.


If you have any questions, please email me at jimjr@qis.net   ("QIS.NET")


And now for a contribution of humor:

As you prepare to celebrate the New Year, remember -- your vehicle has depreciated by at least 20%, taxes will be due shortly and the majority of the world's population will be facing the bleakest two months of severe winter weather.  Happy New Year !
