Has anybody gotten an Email like this, asking you to "send SE4gold" to the sender?

In my research on this issue, I have yet to find SE4G on any P2P network.

True enough that this person might be a pirate, but what if he is just some guy from the UK who has no money?

We should not assume the worst until more info is known. Then again this could be just a prank to see what we will do. I for one think it best to let the subject die.

I will not give out the name of the P2P program I used to find SE4G and Starfury and DO and SE3. That would just be asking for trouble. I think the subject should be allowed to die down as well.

No good comes of these discussions.

I wonder why it is that Cats have to be in the same room as you are in? My two cats have full access to one entire room, that has their food, water, and way in and out of the house. Why is it then that they paw at the door and mewo until I let them into the rest of the house. From their they camp our in my bed room and or in the spare room? I mean I am not that nice to them, I simply feed them and occationaly pet them. I would prefer to harras them and chase them with the vaccum cleaner for ****s and giggles.

Regardless of my treatment, they both desire to be near me. Most odd.

My previous cats did that as well. Just jump up on you and demand attention then onto the keyboard, the monitor... wherever else they could get on that they were certain you didn't want them to get on...

Actually my sisters Pug(the breed of dog found in the Men in Black movies as Frank) does this as well. However in the case of a dog it is less distracting as the best he can hope for is jumping into my lap and not the keyboard or the monitor. Though I must note that when he falls asleep on me or aroudn me his snoring can be quite distracting. And lets not even mention when he has gas.

cats view you as their tribe. and tribes stick together. plus, it's so funny to see your reaction when you don't want them there.

Hello my name is david. I would appreciate u sending me space empires 4. As far as i can see i have nothing to offer you but if you think of something just name it.

His Email is davijan@dawsond4.freeserve.co.uk

any body recognize it? Should I send him an Email with "SE4G" attached *cough virus cough, tell him to **** off, lecture him about the wrongness of piracy or just ignore it?

I would send him about 40 gigs of odds and ends, perhaps some shipsets and mods, just no game code. Send it as you go to bed so it does not impact your activity. It will piss him off. He will have to DL it, or call his mailserver to get it deleated. Remember to send it as a bunch of smaller files, so it will just leave off some of the attachments when his box overflows. Then send his address to a few known spam lists.
