Can You Feel the List-serv Love?

For the past 3+ years I've lived in the metro DC area. As a Single Mormon, I'm definitely not alone and the biggest ward out here has a list-serv that serves as the pulse of the young single mormon community. Parties, items for sale (from cars or houses to cds), political debates etc. etc. etc. You name it, we've probably seen it on there. Occasionally you'll see some humorous interchages on the boards, half of them by people suspiciously named Ralph Wiggum, etc etc etc

Today I saw one of my favorite e-mail conversations in a while:

Thanks, jack ass

Hailey may think again about posting on the List-serv without checking to see how much the Laptops are going in the area. And the response? Stellar.
