<stupid story about cookies, that I have received at least one hundred
times before, snipped>

Ok. I apolegize ahead of time for being so incredibly bitchy, but I have
received this *stupid story* so many times I have finally snapped. I am SO
FRIGIN' SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING THIS STORY ABOUT THE NEUMAN MARCUS
COOKIES!!!!!! I wish it would go far, far away to that Internet never-never
land where I would never ever see it again.

I don't care if we get off endurance-specific subjects every once and
awhile, I mean if someone wants to ask a question about training their
horse, wants to get support to ban animal cruelty (Premarin), or anything
else horse-related, that's ok with me. Heck I even like the horse jokes! =
) I guess I feel that those things relate indirectly to endurance, because
a better-trained horse is a better endurance horse, and many horse-people
are against the slaughter houses, etc, etc...

Please don't send these virus-warnings and other random stories to
ridecamp. I have seen the same virus alerts (always false, you can't get a
virus from *reading* your email, only from *running* .EXE files *attached*
to an email, the way to guard against virus over the Internet is to delete
any .EXE files that come attached to an email from someone you do not
know), stories, and jokes for YEARS NOW. I get inundated with them whenever
an old friend gets my email address (everyone wants to pass along a funny
joke, but they don't realize it has already gone around the Internet a
dozen times and everyone has already read it! After the third time
receiving a joke or story it ceases being funny and becomes very annoying).

I realize people are trying to be nice by warning others of viruses, or
spread good cheer with these stories, but please please please stop! Let's
all practice good Nettiquette (and tell a friend to practice it as well! =
) and not forward this stuff to Ridecamp. If it doesn't have to do with
Endurance (or at LEAST HORSES!!!!) don't post it to the list.

Whew! Ok, I feel better now. Flame me if you must, or email me and we
debate this further if you wish. = )

Jacqueline Mansfield, who isn't usually such a witch = )
