    Didn’t some senator liken the internet to a series of tubes or some such?

    Also, the cartoonist has a killer spam program. Deleted before it even gets to you? I want some little men.

    Ted Stevens, I believe.

    I’m not sure there’s a joke–I just think it’s a cute illustration, unless I’m missing something.

    It looks like the IN and SPAM chutes lead to the same basket, but it’s a waste basket, so… I’unno.

    Where exactly does the in-tube go?

    Where exactly does the in-tube go?

    The little mailman on top brings it in and dumps it into the little hole on the in-tube, which shoots it up to your monitor.

    The out-tube leads from your monitor/keyboard down to the bin where the little mailman on the bottom picks it up and takes it away.

    There is no joke, except ha-ha, little mailmen, how cute.

    As a computer support person, this made me laugh. I cannot tell you how many people I support who seem to believe that this is how email actually works.

    Keera: The “In” tube goes up and the “Out” tube goes down. Assumably the user is up there getting and sending messages.

    Thanks, Jennifer and Steven. Steven, what do you mean, this isn’t how e-mail works?

    No the IN tube goes nowhere. Its referencing how some spam filters let spam through but block legitimate mail.
