Oh my god. Not another one of these. Purveyors of get-rich-quick schemes, especially ones using the net to perpetrate their crimes, should be locked away.

It is identical to one I received by mail a few weeks ago (and promptly forwarded to the local postmaster) We should all flood his e-mailbox with mail. This will let him know what we think of this scheme. JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc. (201) 245-5922 500 Oakwood Ave. jbayer@ispi.COM Roselle Park, NJ 07204

I've had nearly two meg before, but someone had mailed me NetHack! :-) Many thanks to Karl for jumping on this guy's back - if anyone can do anything about it, it's him (being a "daemon" after all!). Let's not waste Ohio State's money, though, by mailing this guy multiple copies of his scheme. Kevin Martin sigma@pawl.rpi.edu
