        I can not believe what an asinine thing you did by sending a
message like you have over the last few days.  Just on the 24th of
May you sent that one message to atleast 22 Newsgroups.  With the cost
it would take some people to download just that one message would much
out-weigh any chance of getting money from almost anybody on the Usenet
that has any sense about them.
        I for one would never send money to someone that would resort to
such feable attempts such as you have.  You have reminded me of someone that
would try to scam money from the welfare services, even when you are not in
need of the money.  You are just taking advantage of a service that is
available.  You obviously have enough money to be able to get on the computer
everyday and send that same damn message.  If you are just trying to get
responses like this one, you are accomplishing what you set out to do.
        And besides, what makes you feel that you are so much more special than
anybody else that people should send you money and not send it to somebody else
