And I believe the message that started this thread is a chain letter, despite its good intentions (probably; my point is not to question the intentions of the writer): simply because of the request to forward to all you know. This request will, of course, be included when you forward it, and the chain continues.

Hilmar,
I agree it could have been worded better, but I think that giving the benefit of the doubt and checking it out first is better than condemning it out-of-hand. That, of course, is my opinion. I tend to believe the best in others before the worst. I have nothing further to add to this thread.
