         Sloths over Ethiopia Spreads Misery Across The Nation:  Part 5

  Without meaning to cause such a furor, Sloths over Ethiopia mass-mailed over
  500 individuals the initial issue of SoE (the famous Armour Potted Meat Food
  Product issue.)  What resulted was a flurry of bitter individuals, demanding
  explanations and removals from mailing lists, often carelessly responding to
  the entire initial recipient list.  We then include below Part 5 of the best
  of the "hate mail" that was sent to SoE, with editor comments in [brackets].

  Oh well, I guess we all have to get off some way!

  [ some people are so damn mean!!!  i was trying to spread joy and laughter
    and this person from a place named WOFFORD says this to me!!!!  i feel
    so wounded.  ouch.  pain!  hurts!  hurts so much! ]

  [ this was actually a person forwarding someone else's message to the

    beyond me.  people are so damn weird. ]

  And, yes, if you are wondering, everyone who has complained has been removed
  from the "super-beans" list.  I never dreamt it would become so damn nuts :)
