Never believe that you can get SOMETHING for nothing! Those ads are come-ons (if you're a sportsman, you may prefer the term "lures"). Once you bite, they waste no time trying to reel you in. I have made it my practice to trash any unsolicited mail that's trying to make me an "unbelievable" offer. Remember: "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!" AND TANSTAAFL (Translation: "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!") Good Luck. Jim Collymore
