OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I did not mean to get this on the loopers delight thread!!! Somehow somebodys email was from loopers delight? And I will try to figure out who that was. I almost had Brian Good on there but caught it at the last minute! I am so sorry fellow loopers of delight!!! This was actually a personal emailing by myself I did not forward any mass email I typed it myself. I already learned the hard way about this and I just got off the phone this morning talking about it with Michael Chapdelaine!!! He was very helpful and kind and recommended a program within Microsoft Outlook Express. He has many thousands of people on his email lists and he says this program with a strange name I cannot remember right now?? Really helps sort out all the tangled up mess a mass email can get into. Just one comma out of place in hundreds of emails can screw up your whole attempt and thats exactly what happenned to me this morning and it took hours to figure out hunting down the problem!!! Now Im gonna go look into Snopes about this giant UFO in Texas!!! Part of me really hopes thats real, but Im real real experienced first hand and have been researching unidentified phenomena most of my life. I and a number of my friends and family here in Pittsburg Kansas have constantly been seeing what looks like quickly moving satellites or near stars that can change direction faster than what your mind can comprehend!!! We have some of them on night vision video :o) I dont think there would be any way these could be anything other than unmanned flying objects as to a human could not survive the extreme G Force changes, no way possible! Maybe if it was not human and had an exoskeleton! Ha Ha LoL. Thanks for letting me know about this as soon as possible so I can put a stop to it! Hope you enjoy my spontaneous compositions with my boomerang phrase sampler as well? --- Dan Ash <Daniel.Ash@Verizon.net> wrote: > This is not only Off Topic and should be labeled so, but the irony > demands comment. > > Internet hoaxes are sometimes created with an actual axe to grind > against a party (in this case a company with a spotty record when it > comes to labor rights - particularly the right to organize here in > NYC).
