      Nice scam! Grab the suckkers by their egos! Yet more proof that the destuction of ones ego is lifes principle goal...

        Definitely. There's beer that tastes like smoked ham / bacon[^]. So why not coffee. I don't agree on the Reviewers opinion that it tastes like hickory grilled steak. It's positively tasting like smoked ham, and works brilliantly with a Franconian brunch! (frühshoppen)

          Correct sir. I just had some time to research this "company" and they are a scam. Damn it! and I thought I was the greatest programmer the world has ever seen. :( It looks like this company gets people to send in money through their scam and doesn't produce an acceptable end product. Typical. The e-mail has been terminated with extreme prejudice and disgust.

          Even if they'd deliver an endproduct; it'd simply be a buy-in for a profile-page on a social network. Now that we're on the subject, how long do you reckon' before Facebook gets such a feature? :)

                  Here's what my response would be: "Well, just who the f*ck are you? You already have too much information about me if you've somehow gotten hold of my email, so take your global directory and shove it up your anal pore. Oh yeah - get a real job, and you won't have to be associated with sh*t like this in the future. Have a wonderful day."

                        Have you ever heard of spam/phishing before? Seriously, if you wanted to be included in anything don't you think you would contact them in the first instance, rather than sit by the telephone/mailbox waiting for them?

                        I must get a clever new signature for 2011.
