Jerry,

I take exception to your rules.

They should be changed forthwith, immediately and without further delay.  In
particular the age referred to in rule 4 shall be changed to "46" (Forty
Six) and all references to I shall refer to me and not you!

Regards

DaveSA
PWP
46/Dx44/Since40

Subject: The Professional Way To Destroy The PWP List

> Do not send jokes, except those I consider funny. No

> (3) PWP are too caring for this list. If a PWP has a

> (7) Post that violate Rules 6 and 7 will be screamed at

> (8) If you want to know anything about PD, go to the

> (9) Please know that no one has any interest in

> (10) Do NOT complain. Quit.

> (Personal note: Since I wrote my last post, I've
