Has anyone ever noticed how fetch/ sendmail is just like doing the washing? Incoming mail is just like all the washing appearing from different parts of the house into the ISP laundry basket. Wrongly addressed ones take a bit longer to reach it, such as the crumpled sock behind Rebecca's bed, often being bounced back to the sender before being properly addressed ("Tidy your room...."). Then the washing machine retreives the mail from the basket. At this point a virus may slip past its door, with the result that the washing turns greyish pink. The washing machine then sends the mail off to be prepared for delivery then the smart host sorts it all out and carries it to the final destination in the local household. Sometimes I have to look at the aliases file as I examine a grey sock of unknown owner. Dunno what the drying part is.

Err...!
Bored, are we? ;)
Either that or I'll have some of whatever you're smoking :)
I will admit to having turned the washing pink on more than one occasion though. Blue, as well. Hey ho.

ROTLMAOWTIME!
This would also explain why I keep hitting my inbox quotta as it all piles up and eventualy the stench gets so annoying that it should be washed.
Just explain why I always get an odd number of socks out of the washing machine no matter how many I put in? Including where n = 0!
Thanks
