Re: Feed Hungry Kids

[Marshall Feldman <MARSH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, I just found out this is not quite a hoax.  Instead of spaming the
addresses listed below, you should use a web browser (mosaic will do fine)
pointed to http://north.pole.org/.  Then you will be able to Feed Hungry
Kids, among other things.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
