Christ, not this shit again. This is the Craig Shergold thread come back to life. For those of you who were lucky enough to miss this, Craig Shergold was a kid in England, some little town outside of Leeds if I remember right, who had a very bad form of cancer. This is in the mid to late 80's when almost no one had heard of the Internet. Some bozo at the local university took it upon himself to post a notice to netnews very simular to this one. The notice asked people to help fill Craig's dying wish to get into the Guniess book of records by sending sending him a post card. He got something like 10 million post cards, the local Post office was swamped and Craig's parents were posting notices to netnews as well being interview by the newspapers telling people to STOP. This went on for a couple of years. Craig got better and managed to get rid of all the post cards. > > PLEASE PASS ON NO! Don't pass this on. Delete this message and send email to the person who sent this and ask him/her to stop being stupid.
