Actually I see:
Subject: Re: MONEY
-> [ picture of coin ]
-> ...to advertise your "talent"
-> on this worthy network.
->
-> Pax vobiscum
As the topic is "money", the closing is in Latin, the picture is of a
coin, and "talent" is in quotes and the network is "worthy", perhaps he is
making a play-on-words of the word "talent", which, if I am not mistaken,
was a Roman coin that was worth one "talent" of silver. In that case the
posting would have been meant as a joke, except he forgot to include the
smilie or the <* just kidding *> at the end. Hmm... that type of humor
is a bit too esoteric for the net. Just a thought.... ;-)
