You should live by your own words

I hope most Internet Users are a bit smarter than this.


Maybe eventually these Annoying postings/scams and get rich quick schemes will 
disappear.(Just a dream, I think)

The best one I heard yet was The Scam report!

It went something like

blah blah blah - scam
blay blah blah - scam
blah blah blee - not a scam
blah blah blah - scam

please checkout blah blah blee and have your dollar ready.
