Before we get to the best of the reader submissions, last Friday's "Yearbook
Quotes" column included a collosal screw-up -- the name of the kid whose
question inspired the column was Christopher Busk, not Christopher Burk.
Sorry about that, Chris.
Also, because I'm dumb enough to keep using AOL, my mailbox only holds 1000
emails at a time, which explains why so many of you had e-mails bounced back
to you last weekend. I went through about 500 of them last weekend, before
the mailbox filled up again, so that means we sifted through about 1500-1600
quote suggestions for Part Two. Because there were so many quotes and because
many of you suggested the same ones, we're just running the quotes without
mentioning who suggested what - would have been too complicated. Thanks to
everyone who took the time to e-mail something in.
