[ale] WAY OT: Nirvana Outcesticide CD's?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Call me naive, but maybe you shouldn't try to buy "pirated" things in 
the first place.  Anything worth having is worth earning.  I can't help 
but think that you got what you deserved by trying to find a "bargain" 
on a "pirated" item.  If I were you, I would write it off to your own 
stupidity and consider it an affordable lesson.  Afterall, who was the 
smarter person in your "pirated" transaction?  You? or the asian guy 
that con'ed you out of your cash.

Sounds like poetic justice to me.  I guess there really is a sucker born 
every minute.  

Cheers,
CB
