Mike,

Yup, knew all that already, obviously not the facts of each incident, but
the principals involved. I would think that any self respecting American who
has graduated from the third grade should be able to see through this
obvious Bull Puckey. Like I said before to, I think it was Dennis, there has
never, nor is it likely there will ever be, any chance of a free lunch
(read, money for nothing) for me. This is just a plain and VERY SIMPLE fact
of life, that I have learned to live with. Don't understand why it is that
some folks can't get a grip on this simple truth.

BTW, Ed
I also think that, since there are some folks who seem to be unable to
resist this obvious attempt to part them from their life savings, it is far
better that they be exposed to it, so that they might learn something,
BEFORE, these fine Nigerian gentlemen have all of their money. Give a man a
fish and you feed him for a day, TEACH a man to fish and you feed him for a
lifetime.

I am not unsympathetic to the plight of folks who fall into these traps.
However, somewhere along the line, these folks are going to have to learn to
take care of themselves. That is unless you are willing to keep paying for
their stupid mistakes. Don't kid yourself, you are, and you will continue to
be, paying for this until these folks wise up.

As I said before, Invest With Care........it's a jungle out there.

Down from the soapbox now, today's sermon is concluded :-)

Rik
