Btw the evil part of me wants me to say that I'm having trouble feeling sorry for all the people stupid enough to fall for a scam like that.

The other thing it wants me to say is that I'm still working on that device that allows you to send a shock through the phone line to the person, jerk, asshole, idiot, or scam artist on the other end.
