WHAT THE...? [Re: Re:]

Excuse me, but what did I miss here?

The email below, from [joesaulnier(at)juno.com], appears to be a cut-and-paste
job of an email I sent TWO MONTHS ago (June 5, 2000, to be exact) during a
discussion on web format graphics. It doesn't appear to have been changed at
all, and even includes MY SIGNATURE! I can find no NEW data included in this
email to warrant a complete cut-and-paste or forward. Browsing through the
recent set of messages in HWG-Techniques, -Graphics, -Style, and -Business,
I can also NOT find any reason for this to be reposted. So what's the point?
