So now, the spammers try to convince their `customers' with the word `million'. At least, it sounds good, and if the sales figures afterwards go up by 5 pieces per annum, they could claim that that's 5 ppm `success rate'. :) (It's perhaps actually that the sales figures would have gone up by 10 per annum, but 5 of these people have been scared away by the spam. So the actual effect is -5 ppm.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
