IJMC - Email Mishaps

Everyone, I have a simple question. Can Cathy be mean and whatnot to you? 
She's wondering who she can be mean to if she can't be mean to me, so I'm 
asking you...let me know, we'll set up an email hotline of those she can 
be mean to...one stop Internet mean shop. Sounds good to me. And 
remember, I love you Cathy...I wrote this while you were standing behind 
me. <grin>                                                          -dave





    As you are receiving my note by e-mail, it's wise to remember how easily
this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with
serious consequences.
    Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of
Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was
planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he
decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on
which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from
memory.
    Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to
an elderly preacher's wife whose husband had passed away only the day before.
    When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the
monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At
the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

    DEAREST WIFE: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL
TOMORROW.
