I think it was about 6 months ago I got the entire first chapter of
Hitch Hikers... given how many hitchhiker-related lists i'm on (ok,
two), it's no surprise this one got through my filter. I've seen a few
Robert Frost poems too. The rest of them seem to be using the same old
jokes I hear years ago. I don't want these from people I KNOW, let alone
spammers...

A very little step... but yeah :)
