...unfortunately the bots don't read, and technically as
it was the bot that harvested the address, and then posted to the list, it

in prosecuting such a case. (While personally I'd love to do it, just once,
I'm fairly sure I don't have a mortgage big enough to cover that as well

I'm sure there are plenty of ambulance chasing lawyers who
would jump at the chance for a percentage.
I'd love to do it too. 8o)
