[edit: changed title.. removed chainmail portions. -kat]

[Priestess of Syrinx]

If it has 'pass it on to 10 people' in it, it's a chain letter and they're nothing but annoying spam.

[Kokuma]

We don't need chain letters in this board, do we?

[Rose]

I get the poem. The girl is saying that life isn't so long as everyone thinks it is. Don't let life run by you. Don't miss the finer things in life. Don't get all in a hurry to finish something. Live life to it's fullest.

[Madcow]

I don't think ILT meant to post it as a chainletter, she just liked the poem.

[Mimitchi]

Argh.. please don't post chain letters ILT.

It's one thing if you like the poem.. when you do just cut out the chainletter portion, but honestly this stuff does not belong here -- we all have enough problems trying to evade these things from spamming our in box...

[acidiica]

I'm sure she did it with good intentions, but I would rather she had posted the thread using the full word, and taken some time to clean up the email she got before posting it here. I honestly don't think that anyone would disagree with me on that, or so I hope.

ILT, you really can't believe everything you read, however touching it may be. I don't know if this was the first, but this won't be the last email like this that you get.

[Mimitchi]

I agree Acidiica, cleaned up and with removed spammy stuff and it is fine. I am sure ILT's intentions were only the best as they've always been in the past, I did not mean for my post to come off so negatively if it did. I just loathe spam
