I mean, come on - put some effort into it!

 It's almost as idiotic as the email I received which came up with 'spam' already inserted in the subject line and the senders real address, because he obviously was too thick to configure his spamming software properly........

That's obviously done on purpose - akin to that email making the rounds a few months/years back about being able to read words no matter what order the letters were in as long as the first and last letters were in place. I can't for the life of me imagine what advantage the person thought he'd be getting by doing it that way though. :confused:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

You're not exactly likely to go 'oh!  Barclays emailed me!" upon seeing that though, are you?

I notice that he managed to spell Membership Number, Passcode and Memorable Word with no trouble whatsoever.

That's the most pathetic attempt at anything I've seen for a good many years :lol:
