[ale] OT: messing with those damned spammers

[John Wells]

I'm thinking about demanding that if I agree to do it and provide the
information that he has to guarantee that his sister will be my bride.

That should throw him for a loop.  Funny thing is, it's interesting to see
him balk at certain things when it's completely made up anyway...guess to
hook me in even further...
