Regarding Tim's problem with the $2 diamond ring company.  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.
