It has come to my attentiion that there are still flames/letters to my
postmaster coming in on the letter I stupidly posted in aus.general;
MONEY!!.
It seems that these people (sending this mail) missed my initial official
aplology appearing in aus.general, so here it is, in full, un cut..

Firstly, I would like to apologise unconditionally for any offence I
caused anyone on the net and any law I violated (No I was not put up to
this) by posting this letter.
   However, believe it or not, not everyone who has an account on Internet
has been using it for 4 years, or, for that matter more than two weeks.
Not eveyone knows the full protocol/legality of everything on the net. If
I had, do you really think I would have posted the bloody thing? 
   Only since the posting when I have been severely flamed (and to anyone
else out there baying for blood, I don't need any more), have I had it
even remotely hinted to me that this type of letter may be illegal.
   I did not write this and I honestly just wanted to know whether such a
scheme was legal. I didn't feel anyone could guage this without reading
the whole thing and meant to reply to the original message, but didn't
know how! THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, NOT EVERYONE'S A BLOODY EXPERT.
   I would also like to advise everyone to totally ignore the initial
letter (in case they didn't already know from the responses) and if
possible for it to be removed entirely from the News (I don't know if this
is possible etc.).
   To anyone who doesn't believe this apology, would I really have posted
the letter with my NAME on it if I had've even considered it being
illegal?
