Subject: How To Deal With Rybka Spam- It's Insanity

Author: George Speight

I must confess in a moment of weakness i sent a guy a copy of Rybka yesterday.
He seemed sincere and a really nice guy. And i think he probably is, But that is
not the issue. Henrik warned me, but it was too late. I had alredy sent it. When
i logged on this morning i had 18! emails from people wanting rybka. I have
never heard of any of these guys. If Dann, or Kurt, Or Henrik, Sarah, tom,
Graham, the list goes on mailed me and said they had lost their copy i would
send them mine in a minute. But this crap with all these people i have never
heard of, its insane. Worse than any spam ive ever dealt with. As i write this,
7 more mails have come in with the request. I just deleted everything, the hell
with it. I may be too kind hearted- one of my big faults. But enough is enough.
I help people who help me, and i guarantee you these guys are not interested in
me whatsoever. I think we need to consider something like a $5 a year forum
membership fee, anything to keep stuff like this from happening. If this doesnt
stop i will have to change my address. Ive never seen anything like it!   Not
happy, George
