That absolutely sucks, Cody.  It might be helpful to educate the lint (not
important enough to be fuzz) by producing some of the Nigerian Scam horror
stories available on the net.  Google will produce absolute mountains of
information for them.  A search for "Nigerian Scam" will produce hundreds
of hits.  This information might help the lint to understand the
problem.  Then again, West Virginia has some absolutely fabulous hiding
places and the fall colors are now just getting started.  :-)
