SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DENVER and SYDNEY --- After nearly two and half years in operation, "denver2sydney@yahoo.com" is being returned to the digital scrap heap in which it was created. Andrew Nicholas, Founder and CEO of the popular e-mail address, announced his intentions to disband the long running e-mail destination in response to what he called "an accumulation of unavoidable and unrelenting spam," as well as the "outdated reference to a cherished, but sadly, completed chapter of my life upon that wonderful rock called Australia."
Responding to what can only be described as shock and disappointment from the Australian participants at the removal of their most populated city from the popular address, Nicholas stepped to the front of the stage and yelled, "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!" The Australian participants were instantly riled into a euphoric frenzy. Timothy Coates, the most recognizably Aussie participant with the Southern-Cross painted on his face, shouted back, "Damn Yank, we're gonna miss ya'!"
Although many at this virtual event were saddened, Nicholas also unveiled a new address, "denver2you@yahoo.com", which was being heralded as, "a new direction in Andy communication that remains true to the values that created our first widely popular address."
With workers quickly unveiling hundreds of specially made "denver2you@yahoo.com" banners throughout the area, Anna Petrovna, Vice-President of Public Affairs, explained that this new address reflects the new vision of Andy communication, "...don't think that it's over, oh no, far from it. Today you have witnessed an address free from geographical destination; this is an address that flies directly to YOU!" Pausing for several minutes as the applause resided, Nicholas joined Petrovna on the stage and closed the ceremony.
As they were leaving, many members of the crowd noted that they were, "determined to update our e-mail servers with this exciting new "denver2you@yahoo.com" address immediately when we get home!"
