Geez Mark, get the big BUG out of your butt!  I would also like to point
out
that this is from a _SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR_.

Ginnie,
	From what I have heard, 90% of the time these kind of requests are
a joke anyway.  Do you think these probably ficticious people care that people 
in Columbus, Oh know that it is their anniversary? 


How about this one,

Please send a getwell card to my uncle after his lobotomy.
His address is

William Clinton
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC  11234

Several reasons: #1 -- Her parents don't know us, so our well wishes 
don't mean a thing to them; #2 -- Craig Shergold needed an operation and 
millions (yes, MILLions) of cards were sent to him to cheer him up and 
put him in the Guinness book.  It got to be SO BAD that finally his 
mother had to go on the BBC last year and PLEAD with people to stop 
sending letters and cards.  Once these things start they will go on for 
YEARS.  Most of us are skeptical of this kind of stuff because usually 
some cruel person is subjecting some innocent person to a barrage of 
letters.  In the case of Craig, whoever started the mail campaign was 
well-meaning, but the situation took on a life of its own.
