If I don't get at least one of these a week I feel slighted :(<BR/>Of course it helps to have a web page that has my e-mail address on it as the advisor for an Explorer post (scout age kids who do ham radio).<BR/>The real sad thing is that they do get some people who fall hook line and anchor (sinker isn't big enough) for these things. So they keep trolling for suckers/I mean "interested parties". By my rough count I could have been at least a trillionare by now with all the people who wanted to give me money.
