I suppose working for a living is out. < no smiley >
From later postings it seems that this is a hoax.
The main thing it's got going for it is that its so wide spread group wise
Maybee there should be a generic hoax warning group so that people don't
have to find every instance of the above. I personally find it iritating
that so mutch bandwidth is taken up by the initial posting . The replies
are excussed on the grounds that ' JJ's ' intent was that all instances of
his appeal could not be covered. My question is does it cost more to cross-
post than to post to a single group.
