Heh. I should share my wife's inside joke. We were helping get a gaming convention going a few years ago in Manchester, NH. It was the first year for the con so we did not have much money to work with. eclectic_1 and I were working on the mailing list. We had a list from a larger established convention, Total Confusion, but we could not afford to mail the con flyer to all of it. Ahem, this was pre ubiquitous web so a mailing was the best way to get to people, maybe that is more then a few years ago depending on your definition. We trimmed the list to just New England, still to big. We trimmed out more outlier areas, still too big. Then we got a bit silly, "Woonsocket, says eclectic_1 "Woonsocket does not need our flyer!" Hurray! That put us under the critical number for the mailing.
