Dear Allan, (if that really is your name... <g>),
What's a "real" e-mail address? My main e-mail addy is
<OC@46thFoot.com> - which is pretty relevant to my website about the
history of the 46th Regiment of Foot, but doesn't relate all that
closely to my name, or even to my interest in LBCs. Would you feel
happier dealing with me on this address if I told you my name was, say,
Oliver Clarke? Or if I had spent two minutes registering a Hotmail or
Yahoo! address?
Potentially indicative of a scam, yes, but not conclusive by any means.
ATB
