You should, Greg. He sounds like a very nice man - a very nice man who wants
to "loose" 12 million dollars. If you think about it, even if he cheated you
and kept, say, 11 million for himself, you'd still end up with a million,
which is a lot.

That's the danger, y'see, Greg. By sending it to the group, in full, you
exposed all the "dumb folks" who read this group to a lot of temptation.
Like that 'big daddy framer' guy who was wondering where WinMX has got to.
Not that 'big daddy framer' reads the group, of course, but that's beside
the point. So you can feel free to call him a shithead without fear of
retribution.
