The last time I heard of a project like this... the recipient e-mail servers were so over loaded the crashed... Smart to make them Yahoo's and not the school's servers On 26 Feb 2003 at 8:57, jeremy hunsinger wrote:
there is nothing like starting internet research early, respond as suggested as per your own judgment.

Hi, this is from Josh Walker and Aaron Skinner. We are 8th grade students at Sweetwater Jr. High in Sweetwater, TN. We are working on a project for our 2003 Science Fair.
We are trying to see where, and how fast e-mail can travel in a period of ten days. We are keeping track of how much e-mail we get back, and from what cities, states, and countries they originate. We are hoping that you will be willing to help us with our project!
There are only two simple steps that will help us to track this email:
1.. Please send an e-mail to the following address: joshaaron_scienceproject@yahoo.com
In the subject line of the e-mail please include just your city, state, and country. Please do not include your name, and do not write anything in the body of the e-mail (We won't have time to read them all). Please respond only one time.
2. Then, please forward this e-mail to everyone on your mailing list. I will be keeping track of the number of responses, as well as the locations. Therefore, send them even to people in your same town. In our science project, we are trying to demonstrate how fast and how far information can travel on the Internet in a ten-day period.
If you receive this e-mail after February 28, 2003 please disregard it, since the project will be over.
Thank you VERY much for your help! Josh Walker & Aaron Skinner
