How dumb would you have to be to respond to this? I googled the text and found the same thing posted on personals boards. And what's the angle? Phishing for personal info maybe?

**Wayward Clam** · October 14th, 2004, 06:10 AM

Phishing for idiots, probably. I bet everybody who responds gets immediately hit with some new variant of the Nigerian scam...

Or quite possibly, a very old variant of it...

Not that these are such very bad things in themselves, but I'll have none of your magical contrivances. I'll say this, however: if all armies were equipped with Electrical Tubes instead of guns and swords the world would be spared a lot of misery and unnecessary bloodshed.

Perhaps in time; but that time hasn't arrived yet.
