I read it many, many years ago, in the 50's I think. It was about a time when no one hand wrote letters. All correspondence was produced by computers, or other types of machines. A young person read in books about 'love letters' and decided to write one. He wrote it, mailed it, and the postal system ground to a halt because none of the sorting machines knew how to handle 'writing.' I'd love to know its name, and author.

Yahoo! seems to have discovered the color purple. What's it all about?

Some of us have been purple people longer than Yahoo! has been around.

Is it a matter of percentage of best answers? Or something else?

I have been trying to vote on some of the answers to the unresolved questions. After I vote on one question, the screens asks if I want to vote on another, I say yes. The next screen show that I now have a resolved question. What is happening? Is it a fluke for tonight, or has it always been like that????

When I look at my profile yesterday, I noticed that my date joined was written in French. Today it is in a different language. While I can stumble my through a little French, I can't even guess what today's language is. Is there a reason why this date keeps appearing in different languages?

Decent, polite, regular, fun-loving users are being targetted with ludicrous violation/abuse reports by idiots, and there seems at present to be no legitimate appeals process.

Does Yahoo! understand how much MISERY and DISTRESS the violations scheme creates?

I find that losts of people just ask a question and then drop the whole thing. I have gotten lots of Best Answers from the people voting on undecided questions.

I am thinking of cakes, pies, cookies. Give me some good ideas.

A blonde and a brunette were sisters. They ran a cattle ranch ... but not very well. They decided that they needed a new bull. The blonde looked at their checkbook and said that they only had $600 to spend on the bull. If she could find a bull she like, she was to purchase it and wire her sister to come with the farm pickup and get her and the bull. She took the cash and went to the bull market . She finally found one she liked that she could afford, but it cost $599. She then went to the Western Union office to send a telegram to her sister. She wrote a message saying "I purchased the bull, come pick us up." The clerk said that will be $8 - we get $1 a word. Since she had only $1 that wasn't going to work. She thought about it for a while and finally sent one word "comfortable". The clerk said how will she know what you mean. She said my sister is a brunette, its a big word. She will have to sound it out .. come-for-ta-bull.

A Blonde with an economy class ticket got on the plane. She insisted on sitting in first class. The stewards all tried to get her to move back where she belonged. She merely shrugged them off saying "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, and I'm going to Fort Worth. The stewards went into the cockpit to talk to the pilot. The co-pilot said ... she's blonde? They said yes, and she said I'm married to a blonde. I know how to talk to her. So she went back and whispered to the woman. The passenger immediately jumped up and went back to economy saying I'm sorry, I didn't know. The rest of the flight crew wanted to know exactly what she said, so the co-pilot told them ... I said, First class isn't going to Fort Worth

Corny, or not
