Well, the count me in messages shouldn't be going to the list. The rest
of it shouldn't either, but if someone is willing to take the time
to work with a New Mexico lawyer and get this going, I'm all for it ($5
and all).
More to the point, these discussions should probably leave the list now.
I'd imagine that Okstate lawyers would take a dim view of this one. No
flames, please--remember, I've worked with them. Thanks.
Finally, as someone else suggested, make SURE you know where your money is
going before you send a check. Spoofing an E-mail message isn't difficult.
