I know a Teacher who's student is conducting an experiment of sorts for a science project. She's trying to see how far her email message gets. She asks only that you send her an email with your city, state, and country. No names required. It's legit, so read below for her message, and spread the word.
====================================
I am Tab (Tabitha) Boehl, a student at Lakota Middle School (West Chester, Ohio). I am working on a project for my 2003 Science Fair to be held February 25th, 2003. I am trying to see where, and how fast e-mail can travel in a period of six weeks. I am keeping track of how many e-mails I get back, and what cities, states, and countries they are coming from.
I am hoping that you will be willing to help me with my project!
There are only 2 simple steps that will help me to track this email:
1. Please send an e-mail to the following address: tabberg[at]aol.com In the subject of the e-mail please include your city, state, and country. You do not need to include your name. Please respond only one time.
2. Please forward this e-mail to everyone on your mailing list. I will be keeping track of the number of responses, as well as the locations. Therefore, send them even to people in the same town. In my science project, I am trying to demonstrate how fast and how far information can travel on the Internet in a six week period. If you receive this e-mail after February 23, 2003 please
disregard it, since the project will be over. Thank you very much for
your help!...... Tabitha Boehl
