     In general, I suggest people don't even _read_ mail containing
such phrases--but that's a personal opinon! :)

tell you what though: if there is analogous UK/european "junk mail of the
bereaved"
or whatever type stuff, which wouldnt otherwise make it to the states,
forward (some of) it to me directly!

that "list of names" thing was lame in terms of submitting it here, it's
true, my bad, but i didnt dare send that elaborate "candle" art email (ducks
as BOC-L colleagues shout in unison "BLOODY WELL RIGHT YOU DAREN'T!")

me, i like cultural flotsam...all kindsa insights to be found there  ^_~
