	This pops up periodically.  I have no idea how it got started, but
it's a hoax.  There is no David, there is no record for the most card
recieved, and all you will do by sending in a card is waste some of your
time, a stamp, and swamp some poor post-office.  Last time, David was dying
in a hospital in Scotland (or was it England?)  I even saw this one posted
in the elevator where I work!
