No Technical content, but please read...

Hi all,

The email below was sent to me by a member of the TechNet, and I though I would also post it here. It doesn't have any Technical content, but I think it's something that's worthwhile reading. Flame me for posting it here if you want to...I really don't care. But before you do, please try and take the time to think about what has happened in Colorado, a how something has changed in this country for the worst from when you and I were growing up...and how dangerous it is to be child now. Sad.

Turn On Your Lights for America

As I was driving to work this morning I passed by an elementary school and noticed that the flag had been lowered to half-mast in memory of the students and their families in Littleton, Colorado. What a wonderful gesture that simple act is. But, I thought to myself, what can I do to show others that I too am deeply affected by this tragedy.

Turn on a light. Turn on my headlights. Turn on my porch light. But how do I get this message to others? Use the Internet. I'm sending this message to everyone on my email list and am asking that you do the same.

I am going to turn on my headlights on Friday morning on my way to work, on Saturday as I run my errands and especially on Sunday as I go to my place of worship. I'm also going to turn on my porch lights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

I'm going to turn on my lights for the families in Littleton to show them that I care about them, that I feel the pain and hurt and heartache.

I'm going to turn on my lights for what is right about this country.

I'm going to turn on my lights against the darkness, the anger and the prejudice.

I hope you will join me. One light is not much but put them together and we can light up the world.

Turn on your lights -- show that you stand for what is right about America.

And as you turn on your headlights and porch lights this weekend; turn on the light in your heart and soul. Show the world that this is not what America is all about. With your light shining bright, along with others, we can come together (if only for a brief moment) and combat the evil that confronts us all.

Please pass this email on to everyone on your address list. Lets see if we can get this message to everyone across this great country before Friday morning and use lets the Internet for what it was intended - good.

Turn on your headlights Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 23rd, 24th and 25th.

Turn on your porch lights Friday, Saturday and Sunday night April 23rd,24th and 25th.

Light up America. Show that you care about what is right about our country.

Pass this email along as soon as possible.

I got this via email this morning and forwarded it to many of my friends. My lights will be on this weekend...

I wish I had Steve's forethought to forward it to our SMTnet community.

Good going, buddy.
