NO! NOT AGAIN! The Craig Shergold Worm has returned!

DON'T send cards; they're immediately sold as scrap paper. Donate the cost
of a card and postage to your local Red Cross or something...

Apology REFUSED! This has been posted and reposted too many times; it is
NOT a valid request any more (and hasn't been for a year or so). DON'T
POST ANY MORE OF THESE, ANYWHERE OFF YOUR SITE. And, after looking at the
Newsgroups: line, if it turns out you posted individual copies to multiple
newsgroups instead of at lease having the sense to crosspost, you'll get 
an individual flame (from me, at least) for each one I find. What a waste
of bandwidth this has become!
