Happy New Year
I've got an aunt who has recently discovered the joys of e-mail. Of the many e-mails she's sent since this new epiphany, I think only 10 or so had subject lines not prefaced by "FW:". So it's understandable that I don't necessarily read her e-mails on a timely basis if at all.Yesterday, I finally replied to an e-mail of hers asking for mailing addresses for the various extended family members spread out across the country and a few abroad. I clicked the reply button -- note that I clicked reply and not reply-to-all -- and sent her my relevant information. To this, I got this reply back, with all the family members magically back on the "To:" line:

Word among the Chan Clan is that there is now a finders fee. So I went out today and gathered six phone numbers for you from various eligible women I met on the bus (environmentally conscious), at the coffee shop (hip) and at the library (literate). Let me know and I can forward them to you.
