OK, Wes. I bite. By this standard, isn't *your* post a "chain letter?" For that matter, isn't mine, and isn't every other post in this thread that has excerpted this portion of the original letter? Personally, I agree with Carl. A toy car is not a car. Dana Carvey's parody of a Bush speech is not a Bush speech. And a parody of a chain letter is not (necessarily) a chain letter. I certainly don't buy your rule of thumb for defining a chain letter. -- J. S. Greenfield greeny@top.cis.syr.edu (I like to put 'greeny' here, greeny@eff.org but my d*mn system wants a *real* name!)
