This is an example of how the e-mail "chain letter" idea could help. If
the email is about memes and meta memes, then by definition it will spread
the holy writ of the CoV, plus if we include some sort of feedback, it will
allow study of how a meme actually travels. I would be interested in
implementing this idea if others would be willing to help (feedback, and
distribution). What does everyone think?
