It's just the first post I think. I'm just going to put highlights and a download.

Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:58 am

The issue here is the length of wowwows initial post. Last time I looked there were 130 edits( additions really).The forum software , phpBB, has a limit on how big any single post can be and wowwow has found that limit.

There are three possible solutions
1. Start a new thread
2. Edit the original post to reduce its size
3. Someone here will need to get to grips with PHP,SQL and XHMTL to write some new code to allow a bigger post.

You can continue to post in the thread. That is not the limiting factor.

I'm reducing the original posts size and making a page in my web space. I'll just put highlights on the top post guys.

@Wowwow: Since you've run out of room for your scammer genus game it's probably pretty much run its course. Maybe you could try baiting instead. Wink

Edit: After seeing some of your other posts this morning I also suggest you use your time to read the forum rules here.

Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:19 pm

A lot of people enjoy this post and I intend to continue it. And FYI I do a hell of a lot of baiting. Thanks for your input Ima Baeder.
And I have read the rules see the PM I sent you.

Here are some from Captain Mal's experiences.

The Repeater - a Lad forced to repeat his initial script to different baiter personae (see http://www.scamorama.com/reynolds_williams.html).

The Curve Baller (from the same bait) - a Lad who tells you something about your baiter persona that is not only totally wrong, but leaves you wondering how he could have thought that.

Quote:

How come you are using my Guidian's direct email address which i know that he only has the password to it?

I never said any such thing!

And two more...

All At Sea: A Lad who thinks that a Marine is synonymous with Mariner.

Quote:

Now let me tell you why i want you to work with me in the Royal Dutch Shell-Reason is because you are a Marine Capt. so i wanted you to handle most of our sectors that concerns lifting of Oils through vessels in the sea and that was why i want to first give you this contract so that yhou will learn more about the working ethics about the Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company.

Quote:

ENGR.J0R30N V4N D33R V33R WALKED UP TO ME TO INFORM ME THAT HE NEEDS A RETIRED MARINER THAT WILL HANDLE THE MARINE DEPARTMENT OF THE ROYAL DUTCH SHELL, I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT BUT AM STILL ON ACTIVE SERVICE AND THAT WAS WHY I WENT THROUGH YOUR PROFILES AND I FILL THAT YOU ARE FIT TO HANDLE IT.

The Comrade In Arms: A Lad (not one in an Iraq Trunkbox scam) who claims to have also served in the U S Marine Corps.

Quote:

PLEASE NOTE THAT AM NOT MAKING GEST OF YOU, AM ONLY TRYING TO INFORM YOU OF WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND THAT OF MAN. AND AS A US MARINE CORPS-I WILL STILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY FELLOW MARINE SOLDIER.
THAT IS WHY I WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO ACHIEVE ONE COMMON GOAL. YOU ARE MY BROTHER AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL BE FOREVER-I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY HARM TO COME YOUR WAY.

...

Becoming a Marine is a transformation that cannot be undone, and Semper Fi reminds us of that. Once made, a Marine will forever live by the ethics and values of the Corps. .
.Semper Fidelis distinguishes the Marine Corps bond from any other. It goes beyond teamwork – it is a brotherhood and lasts for life. So you are my brother for life.
Semper Fidelis my brother!
