Flame ON:

These chain letters (or E-mail in this case) really piss me off, I cannot
believe that the senders think that people are so moronic that they would
just send their money out the door to a perfect stranger. I guess some sad
individuals might think they can get something for nothing, send a few
dollars and get thousands back! There's no such thing as a free lunch.
These things ARE scams, some sucker parts with their cash and gets nothing
back.

Please ignore this pile of crap, don't send any money, just ignore it.
It's bad enough that he spammed 200 newsgroups.

FLAME OFF

Hmm I feel better now, nothing like venting a bit of spleen!
