	Well, I'm not volunteering to do the job, but I certainly have
	a candidate for it.  His name is Robert Nagy, and he is (possibly)
	a student at Northern Territory University in Australia.
	His username is Nagy_R@darwin.ntu.edu.au...oh yes, and he is a 
	thief!  Almost forgot to mention that part...
	  You see, I may have been naive and fairly trusting, but I
	haven't been burned before...until I decided to sell five
	Genesis games to Mr. Honesty, Robert Nagy.  Let me repeat his name
	a few times, so that *everyone* on the net will know *never* to
	do business with his slimy ass...

		ROBERT NAGY...ROBERT NAGY...ROBERT NAGY...

	Hey, the first part of his name is "rober", isn't it?  Sounds like
	"robber"!  Isn't that a synonym for "thief"? Yup, I thought so...

	Anyway, the Thieving Wonder, Mr. Robert Nagy, contacted me after
	I advertised having some Genesis games for sale, and arranged to buy
	five of them. Note the use of the word "buy", Robert...you see,
	when you "buy" something from someone, even if he is half a world
	away, it means you are supposed to exchange money for a product.
	THe term "buy" does not imply a gift, nor is it an optional sort
	of exchange...to "buy" something implies you should give the money
	"owed" to that person "selling" the product.  I've put the key words 
	in quotes so that you can recognize them more easily.  But I
	digress...

	Robert claimed to have sent a check immediately upon receipt of the
	games, which (wonder of wonders) *never* arrived here!  When I called
	that small fact to his attention, he most reasonably offered to
	cancel the first check and send a new one...I guess airmail between 
	the US and Down Under are *mighty slow*, because two and a half months
	later, I still find myself with Robert's check!  And now, he has
	decided that since his end of the business has concluded, he has
	no further reason to continue communications with me, and has thuis
	stopped answering my e-mail messages...

	So, since I have no hope of ever reclaiming either my property or 
	the money owed me, I felt that the only recourse I had left
	would be to bring it to the attention of all of you happy Net-users.

	If you've read this far and you sympathize at all with my problem,
	(since, being in college, I need every cent I can get my hands
	on) I'd appreciate it if you could maybe drop Robby a line
	at NAGY_R@darwin.ntu.edu.au and let him know just what a shit he
	really is...and you could send me a copy of anything you send him 
	as well, just for humor's sake...

		Robert, I hope *you* at least get to read this,
		and I hope furthermore that *noone* ever makes a deal 
		with you agai over the net, after learning what a little
		crook you are.  You a honestly the slimiest, most
		revolting sort of person that I have ever had the 
		misfortune to be involved with, and I hope that
	 	any sort of living you might have made by this method
		of ripping off unsuspecting individuals comes to a 
		complete and screeching halt after people read this little
		note.
