Several years ago, somebody invented a clever email add-on that would alert you to the fact that you were using harsh language, so you wouldn't hit the "send" key. This is wrongheaded. The place you want to put it is on the receive end, to alert you that someone was about to insult you, so you could delete the diatribe without reading it. Does anybody know what was the name of that invention, or the company or person who invented it?

Some dipshit motherfucker. Meat Plow wrote: > The inventor was God and the invention was called The Brain. Yes, She did create the brain, or it created itself, or She created the soul that created the brain, but I am not sure "invented" is the appropriate verb. We don't say a sculptor "invents" a sculpture or a composer "invents" an aria, we say they "create" or "compose" it. Nice bit of humorous proselytizing, though. -- Lew Ordained 2001-07-23 My church permits prostitution, but prohibits proselytizing. Sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you where to join.
