[Elecraft] [TowerTalk] Elecraft package for sale

[Jef Allbright]

It just begins in a older formal style that happens to have been
adopted to the infamous Nigerian scammers. That doesn't mean that it
was created by the same process.

On the Internet, as in our day-to-day lives, people often focus on
details while missing the larger context. Similarly, they often take
issue with someone's words rather than seeing the words as only
partial evidence of the nature of the generating  process.

The stronger indicators of an actual scam would an offer to good to be
true,  a stupidity filter that passes only marks stupid enough to fall
for a scam, artificial urgency, requirement of an initial commitment,
or appeals to greed or other base emotions that make it unlikely for
the mark to pursue a claim afterward.

This looks to me like an older gentleman, trying to do something with
gravity and honor that is unusual--and thus suspect--in our present
society.
