Richard, [edited] another amusing thing: spam email with a misleading subject line like... "Hi, how have you been?" or "You asked me to email you" or "How you doing, honey?" If you open it they ask you to TRUST them and do business with them. :) Of course this happens with regular junk mail also... "Important mortgage account information enclosed" [a pitch for a new mortgage] "We designed this software just for you" [hoping to sell a million copies] The most amusing are the junk mail solicitations that tell a half page story before getting to the point... "You've worked hard all your life and deserve blah blah" [edit] Sorry, I thought I was on the "amusing thread" Gottfried
