Hey, guys. I've not been around for awhile, but I just got something in my email that alarmed the hell out of me, and I think you should know about. This may not be a surprise to some of you, but I thought everyone should know. Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I wasn't sure where it should go. Have a look:

It's pretty slick, and I think the average person would panic at seeing this, if they weren't aware. IS there any way we can get the word out about this to the general public?

The most we can do is bait the hell out of him, hopefully the hotmail addy will tip most people off.

I hope so. I actually felt my heartrate pick up a little when I first read it, until I started noticing the little mistakes and grammar inconsistencies these guys normally make, and of course the hotmail address. But most people wouldn't notice this, I think.
