Very cool.  Almost looked like a stock picture from the Ensign!  That
flo fox person really angered me, though. Here she is a supposed
christian working to help facilitate the defrauding of innocent (albeit
stupid) people.  Also she doesn't seem to even think that what she is
doing is wrong (out and out theft of service, really).  So strange. 
Then there is the connection to organized crime.  I think the only
solution will be part legislative and part technological.  I agree with
the AOL man.  We still have time to do something about E-mail.  But not
a lot of time.  We need to start some serious revamping of how mail is
sent to somehow eliminate this problem.  Of course what to do is very
hard to say.
