    First off, since when did a gllon of gas cost $5??? Highest I've seen is 
just under $2. Oh.... and has anyone ever noticed the wonderful success 
stories that are in these things, that must have been written BEFORE the 
article was sent?? If they wrote it after they sent the article and made the 
money, we wouldn't have to look at it, would we?? :)  I think these spammers 
should just post five addresses at a time, and not the whole scheme of how 
it works. Enough of us have seen it, and wouldn't need the instructions if 
we wanted to participate.... which we don't.
