Fight Spam with [focused] Spam!@# I'm tired of it, are you? should we get the television networks aware too? > ********************************************* > This is a SPECIAL FLORIDA PROMOTION > brought to you by Cape Canaveral Cruise Line! > ********************************************* > > Pack your bags, 'cause you're going on a CRUISE! > > Cape Canaveral Cruise Lines is a Licensed, Bonded, and Federally > Insured Cruise Line.
