  • It's always heartwarming to see a crisis bring out the best in humanity.

    Just look at the e-mail I got today. Seriously, I can't imagine even a Baby Boomer falling for this. The e-mail address even ends in .hu which is Hungary.
    He has given NO evidence that he is anywhere near me. Who just takes everything at face value? Is there anyone so naive that they would fall for this transparent BS? There might be a few -- but they are already broke from 10 years ago when they tried to help out a Nigerian prince's widow...

    And what kind of moron forgets to name his ransom price?

    I think this is unf͏air, and I suggest you pay me.
    What I am sitting at home and don't try to in͏fect your home.
    Life or mo͏ney.
    Hurr͏y up! Every hour, I hat͏e you more and more.
