Hi there Tom,

I don't quite know where you are taking this matter however I am NOT
involved with any scam. I myself got these so called spam mails, I am not
complaining! I get about 100 spam mails per week most of the time looking
from people I know, don't ever get the time to actually sit and check!

However the one about the Sheikh on the Direct L list and being the greatest
thing since "sliced bread" has eluded me, what did it used to say anyway
(just curious)?

No stretch at all, Ken.

A couple of years back this same Sheik worked his way through the Direct-L
list
and I still remember getting spams regarding how this Sheik was the greatest
thing since sliced bread.

It struck me at the time that the poster was suffering from a heavy duty
case
of "Suck Up".
