Mislead yourself no longer; you will never read these notebooks again...

Over the years, I have sent quite a few emails to my collected list of friends. The advent of social networking has made these mass emails anachronistic, obselete even.

The topics were various and sundry, the content poorly written, the tone rambling, even bordering on rheoteric, and the humor mediocre at best. I am not even sure that these are worth keeping, much less displaying to others.

For better or worse, those few that I saved may be found here. They are presented here,
warts and all, the way I wrote them. The only exception was the removal of dead links and replacement thereof with text explaining what the link used to point to.
