Either this guy is a complete block, or my computer is imagining things

Ooooh nice.

You've got a real live one there. Basically, if you can't understand it, is what he is saying is:

Quote:

Hi, I'm one of your own. How do get so many people to send you money ..(?).. Websites have blocked our ISPs, so I have to find somewhere else, where are you? I would like to work for you. Don't worry about me, I am a good worker (?)

I wait to hear from you.

I am vex (?, possibly name or meant to say vexed. I.e. What on earth are you doing)

Either way, sounds interesting

using the words "mugu guymen" together can be construed as an insult however...since the guymen use the term "mugu" to mean basically, an idiot. So when you ask for mugu guymen -- you're asking for stupid guymen -- not the best way to show you have their best interests at heart.... Wink

There is something a little odd with that reply. It seems too good to be pidgin; almost like english being translated into pidgin. Too many deys. JMO.
