[Discussion] OT: Quote Source [WAS: Re: Installing eCS 2.0]

[Thomas Clayton]

Julian,

The quote

"This life is a test.  It is only a test.  Had this been an actual life,
you would have received further instructions as to what to do and where
to go."

is attributable to the fictional character, Angela Chase.

She is THE central character in the (short-lived) TV series, "My So-Called Life". Circa-1992. I know because I recently (a few months back) 'came across' the DVD-set of it at my local public library and checked them out to watch.

The ironic thing is I was just parodying it in an e-mail address test letter I'm composing

"
This is A Test and ONLY a test of the Internet E-Mail System.

IF this HAS reached you, it WAS working (recently) - otherwise you wouldn't have received this! ;-)

Had this been a REAL electronic message - an "e-Mail letter" - then it would contain useful information that might INFORM you of something.
"

I haven't quite finished it. I'm carefully considering its compostion as I'm UNcertain how the woman who is about to receive may react. :-(
