Did anyone else get this dubious request?

**J* D* <j*@xcountry.tv>**

Hi all:

Everyone got the endless February blahs? The list has been amazingly  
quiet of late.

I received this truly bizarre note earlier today, and thought I'd  
share it and see if anyone else had also gotten it. I don't know what  
it's all about but she's a lousy writer--if writing lists can be  
considered writing. Note the errors in the letter, too. (snerk)

The mind just boggles. Maybe she's getting a degree in 'content  
providing' rather than writing.
