Sometimes I wish I could go back and insert a few pithy posts into those scam threads .... sort of like a latter-day Aussie trying to establish a convict ancestry. Business Wire clearly had no idea of SI culture ... they should subscribe to National Cybergraphic.

Bill, Look at the bright side. Moron hunting has never been easier than it's been today. It's pretty easy to spot them now. I was very reluctant to take up the mantle of FBNA CEO that Jeff pushed on me. There are many that are more deserving and replacing TED is like replacing Cal Ripkin at third base. In light of recent events, I've decided to accept the position as “transitional CEO” until a suitable replacement is found. Speaking in my official capacity, I want to express how very proud of FBN Associates and our shareholders, I am today. I'm a little peeved at BW. I've directed the accounting department to cancel the PO. Let me reassure everyone. The ship is on the right course. We shall overcome! Tom Collins
