Chris,
I read an article today in the Wall Street Journal about how gMail sifts
through it's members emails for key words and then plants advertisements on
your screen (of what they think would be) items related to the topics in
your email.  [I don't have gMail, so I don't know if this is true or what
it looks like]
The article went on to say that folks have (complained?) that some of the
"pairings" of Ads to their personal messages have been a little weird at
times.  I can't recall many specific examples (one was something like an
email about a "party" yielded an add for ExoticDancer or something....Which
BTW sounds just dandy to me:-).
Needless to say...Please let us know if you receive any adds for Bible
sales...or perhaps a much needed Warlock costume for Halloween :-)))
Regards,
Joe Ribaudo

p.s. The Spanish Inquisition will be visiting any nonbelievers when you
least expect it...  Because - Everyone together now  "....NOBODY expects
the Spanish Inquisition..!!!")    Wow...I had forgotten all about that
Monty Python bit....Thankfully, all the religious discussion prompted my
memory of that skit.!  :-)))

Ducati Content...
I'm getting married in a few weeks (I'm 42...So you can just imagine my
parents sigh of relief :-)  Oh yeah...getting back to the Ducati
Content...Unless the new Superbike is a complete dog...I'll be giving
myself one as a wedding present.  In fact...I'm hoping (in vein) that
Ducati will just send the one they'll be unveiling at the Milan show
directly to my wedding party...Now THAT would be the most breathtaking
"Centerpiece" in the history of weddings....

Hey Everyone,

I *would* like to thank whatever higher power inspired the programmers
and management at Google to create GMAIL. The beautiful way it threads
e-mails by conversation and then intelligently *hides quoted text* is
simply astounding.

With gmail, you can quit the digest, get back on the regular delivery,
and it's a breeze to keep up with the list. Once you know a
conversation has gone to the anti-higher-power (aka, "gone to hell",
for some religions), you can easily ignore all the content from that
"conversation".

With gmail, my blood pressure got back down to 112/72 because I never
ever see 15 pages of quoted text that should have been trimmed ... ;)

:) Chris
