Found this one in my mailbox today, thought it was an interesting addition
to the collection. It has astoundingly flimsy background info, but
apparently the minimal effort necessary and the large profit promised are
plenty to keep it going. Think I should bother to tell my cousin it's a
waste of bandwidth?
