I have added Spaf's letter to the tail of the bi-weekly help file.
This will make an interesting anti-chain letter.  Probably won't help.
[See the proposal for misc.kid[s].dying.]  Place the help article into your
Killfile once you have seen it enough.  The Subject line is designed to
notify you only in event of modification. [See the biweekly post on Killfiles
to do that.]  Please learn to cut down on cross-posts and attribution.

I am amused/almost believe pausible the thought that 4 centuries from now
a fictitious starship captain might direct the crew to send holocards
to a person dead four centuries.  Frightening thought isn't it.
This is how data archologists of the future will make their pay.....
