    Merlesworld; who would have thought shysters started way back then? And how many people fell for it?

    Lots and lots of people fell for it - just as they do now.
    This is a great one (in a sad sort of way). The more things change...
    Thank you.

    Elephant's Child; everyone says we learn from our mistakes, but it's clear that we really don't.
