I just hope this doesn't get on to ARPA.  About 2 years ago, I found
a religious (send no money) chain letter in my physical mailbox.
I thought "What a hack," and sent it to a few people I knew on my
local system.  Well, a couple of them thought "What a hack," and
they sent it to people who had accounts on our system but were
really from somewhere else, so they took it to their home systems.
Then a handful of people sent it to users they knew at other sites.
You can imagine... After a few days I started receiving copies of it
that had been out to California, though Texas, etc.  After about
two weeks, everyone was talking about it, and the DoD made it the
subject of one of the ARPA newletters.  Fortunately, since I never
sent I over the net, I was left unscathed.
