Penn Listservs Are Nothing If Not Straightforward

We invite you to examine an e-mail invitation we received today:

Check out the recepient line: yep, it's addressed to jewsthatareseniors@pobox.upenn.edu.  Well, no use beating around the bush, huh?  He says it's not real, but it makes us wonder what other overly honest listservs lurk on Penn's servers. Gingersbutweprefertobecalledredheads@pobox.upenn.edu?  Halfasians@pobox.upenn.edu?  Legaciesthatpeakedinhighschool@pobox.upenn.edu?  The possibilities are endless.  But keep in mind the possibility of overlap -- for example, Murrayhillleases09@pobox.upenn.edu would most certainly be redundant due to the existence of the aforementioned jewsthatareseniors list.
