To whom it may concern: I would like to apologize for my ignorant actions and consequent posts in regard to the pyramid letter money scheme. I must admit that I was foolishly sucked in to this scam. At the time, I really did not know that this was illegal. I guess this must sound incredibly naive. I am pretty new to the internet and really don't know what I'm doing sometimes. For this I am sorry. In the future I will try to educate myself before acting. I'm truly embarrassed that I went along with this scam, and am sorry for everyone's time that I wasted in dealing with this matter.

No-one ever seems to reply to apologies of this ilk, so here is my reply to you. We were all 'newbies' once-upon-a-time, and stuff like this may have seemed 'exciting'. As you have possibly found out, *flames* come from all directions, in pr, this 'Fast Money' stuff. I would recommend you 'kill' anything that has $$$ (or derivatives thereof) in the subject line. Not only does this stop the crap reaching you, it will save you valuable download time. I've removed you from my 'kill' list. Don't be tempted to get involved with this sort of stuff again, and I'm sure a lot more 'netties will accept your mail again in future. Good Luck. Enjoy the Internet. It's a great place to be, but tread carefully. Bruce ~~~~~ -- .................................................................... . Bruce I Ward . E-mail: bru...@danesholme.demon.co.uk . . .
