While that signature line and the overall tone of the email sounded
suspiciously (although funny), the "clue" should have come after a whois
lookup on the bilano.biz domain which was registered just a week ago.
Listed as the contact is a certain "Reverend Deuce". And if that doesn't
sound suspicious enough yet, do a lookup on spudland.com and visit that
web site, and all will be clear.

Yet we have handful of gullible folks replying. It seems to show that
this list has a high number of ... subscribers that don't even do basic
research on issues and/or posters, but take everything at face value and
start replying immediately.

However sad that may be, I can't deny the humor in the initial post and
some of the replies...

Cheers,
Frank
