Sometimes I wonder if these scammers aren't just using some kind of automated program to summarize incoming responses, pluck out a few choice phrases to reference, and make it look like there's a real person responding when it's really some spammer who's just doing more point-n-click.

Now, I have the utmost faith in the complete and utter stupidity of Humanity, but I find it hard to believe that someone is quite THAT stupid! Haven't they caught on to the fact that there are pranksters out there who love to bait-n-reply these days?

And personally, I think that 32� angles are the sweetest of all. [Wink]

They probably don't care if people prank them back, since there are still other stupid people out there willing to fall for this and give them money/information.

They are?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
