Hi, everyone, this is Doug, with this month's traffic report. Once a
month, during the first part of the month, I send the report to
the entire HUMOR list. Welcome to the month of
December, 2002.
Effective with the February 2002 Traffic Report, I am stopping the
Contributor's SpotLight. With only about 20 people contributing, I
have run out of Contributors willing to be featured in the SpotLight.
It is not worth keeping it for just new Contributors.
We're down slightly on number of jokes and number of
contributors. Must be the holidays.

And finally, the one feature which has been featured in all Traffic Reports,
the contribution of Humor. Since, I am not a real regular contributor, I will
not be providing new Humor. Instead, I will provide a joke from the archives.
It will be at least 14 months old, so most of you won't remember it. You will
either see the joke below or a link to the joke, not the actual joke, although
I will provide the Subject line (Topic). Since there are now HTML versions of
all Digests, it will point to the joke itself.
My contribution of Humor from the Archives:
This joke is too long for the Traffic Report. The link will be shown.
