Yep and I don't complain about someone pointing out the rules in any 
thread but I do take acception to the others who subverted my thread for 
there own self centered purposes.

I think I know most of the rules by now having been here for close to a 
year and considered posting the whole lot in spam however some do not 
like the tone I use in some of my private emails to offenders... I do 
swear at them... So I just posted the response to show how stupid 
Nigerian scammers are and to see if I could get some help confirming 
whois etc. for the supposed bank the scammer referenced.

I guess now I will just have to forget about it and try not to get 
scratched in the future.
