  Yes.  This "humanitarian" act leaves all those folks with money
  to spend on the "home business services" advertised by MCW on those
  web pages doesn't it?

  I take it the advertisement for the $24.95 home business service
  on that web page must have been left there by an internet hacker?

  Under the topic of "High Rated Home Businesses Approved by MCW"
  yet.   Is it any coincidence that all of the "approved" topics want
  you to send money to "MicroSmarts"--the posters of the ad?

  If anyone from Holms Publications or International Press is reading
  this newsgroup, you may want to have your lawyers check out your
  characterization on this competitor's web page.
