[simpits-tech] Friday Humour - a dilemma

[Matt Bailey]

I find forums a lot less convenient, particularly since I'm on dial-up.
With e-mail I don't miss anything, and replying is just a quick e-mail
away as opposed to having to load a webpage, clicking through various
categories, finding a thread, making sure I check all the active threads
that interest me, etc.
