Thanks Jamie for the tangent....
Now, remember, this is -NOT REAL- only a lifelike simulation.
If I drop this email into/on -any- mailing list, I can claim
it to be commercial and not subject to "flat-rate".
Plus, I can likely have a valid case to haul each of you into
small claims court for damages, report you as deadbeats to the
BBB and tattle to the IRS on you.
