Marty, I just slammed Rusty in another thread because he attacked Singapore. I guess you could call me a peace maker.

Lot of bad spelling. They would be able to get more newbies if they corrected their spelling.

Ive had a lot of confrontations with russian scammers.

Apparantly, these guys troll eBay for users who use their email address as a username. I guess it's time to change my user name to hide my email address, because I've gotten quite a few of this scams in the last several months.
