*Sigh* More SPAM.
I suspect many of you have already realized it, or just deleted this without
reading it, but this is just another varient of the pyramid scheme. I
generally simply ignore spam, because there's no reason to fill everyone on
the list's mailboxes with discussion about what twits spammers are and I
appreciate the fact that everyone else has been doing the same lately. But
I figured it's time to post a couple of reminders.
Spammers are an annoyance, but they are an inconvience we have to put up
with in order to gain other conviences.
Please don't respond to SPAM, much of it is scams designed so the
perpetrator can make a few bucks off the unsuspecting. Other flavors of
SPAM are designed to make life miserable for someone -- the apparent sender
isn't the actually sender, but the apparent sender is the one who'll take
all the flack. And still others are just someone thinking he or she is being
clever.

Hi NetNeighbor,
A net friend of mine gave me a copy of a very unique program you might be
interested in.
He sent me the copy through email file attachment after I requested it.
This thing really works, I have personally recieved checks from folks I
don't even know. My friend told me he would send anyone a copy of the
program if they would just request it per the instructions below.
Check it out, I don't think you will be disappointed. It has been tested
for viruses and works fine on any IBM compatible computer.
If your not interested in this program, just disregard this information
Have a great day,
Net Neighbor
