Contrary to Chris Harris, I agree with the recent posts by Danny Yee
and Hugh Jarvis admonishing against chain letters. There are no
exceptions. Otherwise, disputes over what constitutes valid
exceptions only make matters worse. Good arguments against chain
letters were well expressed in the Yee and Jarvis posts.

Now, George is not saying we should start a chain letter over the
Bosnian situation (at least I don't think he is). His comment,
however. is well taken. It points to the effort some people will go
to jump on a bandwagon (maybe this is a politically correct stance).
Meanwhile, inadequate attention is being given to atrocities against
real living homo sapiens that are happening right now.
