This is no lie. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif ~ What a rip off ~ they should name all ink cartridges "Jesse Jackson" ~ since we're all being hijacked by the manufacturers. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif

As for the "enhancement" spams ~ http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif ~ I wonder how many people answer those offers. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif I've blocked so many my "blocked" folder is full ~ so now all I can do is delete, delete, delete. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/ugh.gif

Actually, I didn't include the article about the website that had a security breach - and about 4000 people's names and credit card numbers were released on the net by a hacker.

But 4000 people responded to ONE ad. Businss is booming, apparently.

I'm really sick of the enhancement offers. Some of them would be truly miraculous results. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/doh.gif
