Hi everyone! This is Jim, with this week's Traffic Report. Once a month I
post to the entire list with the report. Welcome to April.
I've been doing some spring cleaning around the list, and I thought I'd
answer a few commonly asked questions. Are you happy with the way you're
receiving the list? Different people like different things. If you want
to receive HUMOR in a daily digest format (which is the way it comes when
you initially subscribe to it) send LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command SET
HUMOR DIGEST. If you'd rather get HUMOR as individual posts, when they're
sent to the list, send LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command SET HUMOR MAIL.
You can always see the options you currently have set up by sending
LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command QUERY HUMOR. All commands go in the
body of your message.
In recent months a good deal of (non-Internet) media attention has been
drawn to the topic of spam, or unsolicited emails. It's not exactly the
hardest thing in the world to search the listserver for email addresses.
You can protect yourself from people searching the listserver (and
therefore inundating you with unsolicited emails) by sending
LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command SET HUMOR CONCEAL. If you conceal your
subscription, you will simply become a number on the weekly counts, with no
other acknowledgement of what your exact email address is.
If you're not a contributor to the list, but would like to become one,
you are invited to do so. You must first take the prerequisite exam. Send
LISTSERV@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU the command GET HUMOR GUIDE for the rules of being
a contributor and the test that proves you understand what the guide says.
You can also do all of this from the world wide web at

If you have any questions or concerns, I'm here for you. Feel free to
email me at jimphynn@mindspring.com, visit my home page at
http://www.webcom.com/jimphynn, or visit HUMOR's website at
http://www.webcom.com/jimphynn/humor/humor.html.
Have a great week/month everyone! I'll see y'all next time.

And now for my usual contribution of humor:
Subject: Yes, but should we call it 'art'?
Exerpted from the book _Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest: True News of the World's
Least Competent People,_ (c) 1996 by John J Kohut and Roland Sweet
In Colombia, Antanas Mokus, president of Bogota's National University, was
speaking at the opening of an art exhibition when a group of students began
heckling him. Mokus acknowledged them by turning around, lowering his
pants and underwear, and bending over. He explained afterward that the
incident, which was recorded by a student on videotape and broadcast on
national television, should be understood "as a part of the resources that
an artist can use."
