Stuff that make mailing lists

Mailing lists are interesting and weird. They start off with a bang, and usually we find a huge flurry of activity for 3-6 months, may go on to a year. Then they die a slow death, and someone tries to give them a life much later. Usually the attempts to revive them don't last too long. Soon the lists go back to a dormant state. The most interesting mails that come to a mailing list are the ones that usually lack any sense. Like this one. I don't really know what he was thinking of when he typed this. I don't think I will ever understand.
Dodii oru kuttu bastuva kuttu siddu siddi manushyan njaan

thendi patti alavalaathi
ododi kutttu

And I have bad genes.

Update (22 Dec) : I did not write the above quote. Whoever wants to claim it can do so in the comments.
