   You may not hear this, but I am giving you a standing ovation as this is
precisely what I have been blabbering (but not quite so eloquently
parlaying) about.  I do not care WHO someone IS, or WHERE they are FROM, all
I want to know is WHERE can I find the person if they try to scam my
company.  People who do not accept fiat monies for conversion to gold do not
seem to understand this.

(By the way, can I borrow that spade to pay a visit to a few mutual
*friends* we both know in a quaint little California town???  I promise to
wash it off when I am finished with it!) ;0)

    If people were honest about the payments that they sent, I would not
care if they sent it to me from California's State Penitentiary because it
would be a GOOD payment.  The ONLY reason we need to id people is because of
the rampant fraud going on out there.

    I will stop clapping now!

      Eric
