Default OT heartbreak

You are probably aware of the story of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
Before taking it out further on Rodney, try googling for Craig Shergold;
there is a summary at "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Shergold". Those
who were around at the time received *dozens* of heart-breaking e-mails on
behalf of Craig and other similar cases, including circulars within many
organisations, and it took years for them to stop.

Riley Philpot may very well be a genuine case, unlike the many
famous and wealthy Nigerians who seem to need my help disposing of very
large sums of money; but she really, really, whether she knows it or not,
doesn't want millions of cards over the next year or three, totally
swamping any other mail she and her family may receive until they give up
and move. Good luck to her anyway; but she has enough to cope with.
