VMs: I couldn't wait until April for this proposed solution.

[Milo Velimirovic <milov@xxxxxxxxx>]

 || was cleaning out my mailbox today and happened upon the e-mail 
included below. Its similarity to the VMs immediately jumped out at me. 
Those of you who complain that the words in the e-mail aren't found in 
the VMs just need to adjust your grilles a bit (or your  AWK/PERL 
scripts..;) Most likely the original plaintexts can be found here:
<http://www.j-walk.com/other/conf/> Also, I took the liberty of 
removing some extraneous HTML markup from the e-mail, clearly a sign of 
recent redacting.

 || now believe the VMs is the template for the original 419 scam (see 
<http://www.scamorama.com/> for details description of the state of the 
"art" :) It now seems obvious that the VMs includes several sections 
that deal with other types of e-mail scams we've all become far to 
familiar with: body part enhancement, astrological counselling, herbal 
supplements, etc.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, 
Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right 
answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of 
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Charles 
Babbage
