[DCRB-L] BETWEEN US

[Eric Holzenberg]

Well, I must admit that I never expected to see the notorious "Nigerian
Scam" on DCRB-L!  I suspect that it would be unwise to supply Mr. Mambo
with our personal bank account information, but it couldn't do any harm to
solicit his opinion about the thorny issue of prescribed vs. original vs.
double punctuation ... 

Cheers,

Eric Holzenberg
