I recieved a polite mail asking me to remove my vcard for my mail. I am very mixed on this type of restriction. I rember when I was the first one on my team to use html mail. Boy did I get flamed! First because I sent something out that not everybody could parse, and second because they didn't know how to do it. Now all of them use it, and wouldn't know what to do without it. I like using this new technology. The vcard is slick. I send mail to addresses other than mailing lists and news groups. I like to have my vcard in that mail. I'm certainly not going to take the time to enable and disable this feature every time I send mail. I guess it is a bit ugly when it comes across as plain text. Ok, so I will disable it for now on my home systems. I will still use it at work. It is my electronic business card. As for my sig file. I know it's a bit long as well, but who could complain about what I'm pointing to. I thought about moving it all to a URL and pointing to that, but I want the links in your face. As far as the poem goes, here's the whole thing. You should find a copy of the Moody Blues' On the Threshold of a Dream and listen to it in order to get a better understanding. In the Beginning, by Graeme Edge January 19, 1969 First Man: I think, I think I am, therefore I am. I think? Establishment: Of course you are my bright little star. I'm miles And miles Of files Pretty files of your forefather's fruit And now to suit our Great computer You're magnetic ink. First Man: I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be. Inner Man: There you go, man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles Of trials With smiles It riles them to believe That you perceive The web they weave AND KEEP ON THINKING FREE! -- The linux counter: <A HREF="http://counter.li.org"><A HREF="http://counter.li.org</A">http://counter.li.org</A</A>> -Registered Linux User # 79059 S.u.S.E.

As far as HTML mail goes, I ignore it. Not because I can't read it, but because plain and simple I don't need to read it and I don't want to read it. It is annoying. The same with vcards except they're not quite as annoying.
