Celebrating Jon

[Mickey Harris <harrism@mace.cc.purdue.edu>]

How frustrating....I wrote a WCenter message with lots of good wishes
for Jon and got back this virtual raspberry:

Hmmmm...rejected by an automatic server which is too busy throttling.
Wow, that's really rejection, Big Time! Has this happened to anyone
else? Can I file a class action suit against a machine that would
rather throttle than convey messages? And how do machines throttle?

'Nuff...all I wanted to do was add my wishes for a happy, healthy
birthday and many, many more, Jon-boy. (Jon Etheridge? Jon Edmonton?
Jon Elias? Jon Engleburt?)
