    Would you buy something from a man who jumped you in the street and shoved his product in your face while indecently exposing himself and shouting at you? I wouldn't either.

        There was this one time this Nigerian guy needed me to hang on to some money for him. That worked out pretty well. Oh, and I've been able to "grow" 3' in the last month thanks to breakthroughs in modern medicine I never would have known about except for my e-mail! <---signature---> Your kid gets into Duke.

                    Exactly the attitude which we need to promote! I once considered McAfee a viable anti virus solution. But ever since they started to spam me, I've decided that I will not buy anything from them. Heck, if someone throws a pirated McAfee CD my way, I will take it to the shooting range and turn it into silvery, plastic dust. :mad: -- Das ist die Grenze! So weit, nicht weiter!

                                  I have never bought a product directly from the email advertisement. But there have been times when the product looked good enough that I ended up buying from somewhere else. So no - I would never buy something from SPAM.
