the man who approves his own e-mail and
good on him for it -
it's an American thing - during the 1990's political campaign ads got
really negative and downright nasty (not that there is anything wrong
with that) - and the candidate would sometimes claim that the (nasty)
ad was put out by their campaign staff without their (the
candidate's) knowledge or approval. So as a gimmick <?> candidates
began to endorse their own political campaign ads with a short clip
""this is ****** and I approved this ad"". Never one to pass up a good
gimmick (passing myself off as an IDMS DBA has been my longest
running), I adopted this self-endorsement for all my contentious and
otherwise inane posts to this (and, yes, other) lists.
This is Chris Hoelscher and I approved this email

"Chris - you are too kind to the politicians - it's the law.
Title 2, U.S. Code, Section 441d(d)(1):
By radio. Any communication ... which is transmitted through radio shall
include ... an audio statement by the candidate that identifies the
candidate and states that the candidate has approved the communication.
By television. Any communication ... which is transmitted through
television shall include ... a statement that identifies the candidate
and states that the candidate has approved the communication. Such
statement-
(i) shall be conveyed by-
(I) an unobscured, full-screen view of the candidate making the
statement, or
(II) the candidate in voice-over, accompanied by a clearly
identifiable photographic or similar image of the candidate; and
(ii) shall also appear in writing at the end of the communication in a
clearly readable manner with a reasonable degree of color contrast
between the background and the printed statement, for a period of at
least 4 seconds.
So, I guess it doesn't cover email but if it did, you're covered Chris.
How about a run for President? You certainly have enough
contentiousness and inaneness for it.

"I rememeber the technical staff of computer visions moving into
corporate headquarters hauling pc's bigger then 31"" TV's. that's all i
needed to know what a sham the acquisition was. someone forgot that the
software and hardware guys speak different languages and inhabit
different continents. however though, John Cullinane knew what CEO's
wanted, and that still holds true today. They want an intelligent view
of all their data, summarized, timely, and accurate. That was not
technologically possible in the 80's, or 90's, unless it came from
purpose built hardware/software hooked to T1 lines then. A Bill Gates,
Cullinet never had, and didn't have the organization to develop one
either.
