Even floppy disks would be hard to explain (one heck of a backup?),
but he seemed to write floppy disk DRIVEs.
I can't imagine needing 15000 of either these days.

I sent a query by Facebook from the info in his original message. I'll
relay what I find out. There is enough information on the facebook
pages to suggest that the guy is actually related to a history musuem,
but of course the place to send the money smells to high heaven and
could be a hijacking by phishing people to this list. Any idea who
approves and how these sorts of messages creep in here? Are they
getting in thru forged email tricks, or is someone who is moderating
approving them?
Not critical, just trying to understand. This came up before with some
of the odd replies that appear, asking for long ago listed available
items that were discussed, where the correspondent seems to be replying
to an old posting, probably from the archives or google.
If all posts must be by approved or pre-approved list members, I wonder
how these make it on the list and are distributed.
thanks
