This was sent, word for word, to another list I manage, from a longtime reputable member's acct. It is NOT intentionally sent by the person who owns the acct. I'd guess the acct was hacked. Yes, ignore it, but please don't blame the apparent sender. Chances are, that person had no clue or control over it.
LIZARD :)

Another person in this group also from the UK, I'm not mentioning names, sent this word for word email to me and others directly a couple of weeks ago. Somebody seems to have gotten into a couple people computers and stolen names on friends ect... to use as trash mail. Aren't hackers friendly people? NOT!!! IGNORE THIS POST!!!!!!
Take care, keep a smile on your face!
