(For the sake of everybody's bandwidth, I *haven't* included any/all of JJ's
infamous article in question....*everybody* knows what it says :-) )

This "plea" for money ($1 from everybody) strikes me as extremely similar to
another one that occured last year by a student in several newspapers around
the country (except that his was *known* to be legit - it was checked out by
the newspapers first).  As I recall, this fellow ended up garnering something
in the vicinity of >$500,000.  Jeeze, that could even cover his tuition at
Harvard :-).  I don't recall what was done with the excess funds.

For some reason, I find this advertisement from "JJ" to be of a slightly more
dubious nature :-).  Got to give it to the guy though...great way to retire
without ever having worked.

As far as Portal, it's management, and the majority of the stuff that I've
seen come from the users there, well....my mother taught me that if I couldn't
say anything nice about somebody/something, then don't say anything at all :-).
