Good on ya Peter,
         I have received many such mails in the past. They usually come 
from people who are relatively new to the "Internet" or "eMail" and are too 
stupid to realise that they are stuffing up things for those of us that 
have been connected from the beginning.
         I used to get many mails promising a new "Whatever" (Sony 
Playstation or other desirable (to some)product). They go out as "special 
offers" and are aimed at the "stupids". I discovered that one of my engine 
friends's daughter had access to his mail and she always replied to these 
"scams". They promise something if you just send the mail to 20 friends and 
CC the mail to the sender.
         "Good one" - the daughter always forwarded the mails to her 
fathers "engine list" and " Voila" - the spammer had another 20 addresses 
to add to his list. She could NOT understand why I crapped on her !! ( She 
also wondered why the promised product was never delivered to her in the 10 
days promised. - in spite of the fact that the original mail made no 
mention of asking her for a postal address - to send the promised 
"Whatever" to)


Keep the revs up (or down)
