Hi
If someone on the list replies to this ( or these ) fellows,
I'd like to know if they get any response. I've tried
to send to two of these types request in the past and
gotten no response. ( they didn't seem to care that
I had what they were requesting. )
In fact, I'd like to know if anyone that has sent to
one of these off list request has ever found that they
where actually talking to a real person.
I'll have to admit that this particular request looks
real. Still, from my past experience, I have my doubts.
The two request that I replied to in the past also seemed
as valid as this one.
As you will note, I have no problem responding to
those I recognize as being on the list or just responding
to the list in general. These off list request tend to
be about as close to form type request as the various
Nigerian scam letters I receive. They're all a little
different but all seem to have some common elements.

It's a little odd, but I have a very time believing that even an
intelligent mining bot is going to turn out a request as detailed and
coherent as the other request for Shure info. I'd come closer to
believing that it's two techs at the same shop, or even the same guy
posting from work and then from home.

Chris,
I was told that you have some documents on the Shure AMS8000 mixer.
Is it possible for you to email me a copy of them?
Kind regards

Hi
Doesn't anyone find it just a little suspicious that we got
two request for information for the same rare information? This
seems to be the typical type of request that we see. I realize
that it has been stated before that these may in fact be valid
request from someone looking at the archives. I just don't
believe it! I get the feeling that these are some kind of
automatic ( with some intelligence ) address mining bots. Am I just paranoid or does anyone else see what
I see.
Not gonna go there, Dwight. :)
