Maybe the Nigerians have heard of the reported "greying" of the windsurfing community and are trying to abuse the elderly

No ill will here, but nobody escapes from age. Grey or not, time is our ultimate limitation. Some last longer than others, but unfortunately our physical prime arguably happens earlier in life, and there's a true reality in that whether we're ready, accepting or not.
Just pray that what Ronald Reagan got in the end isn't in your future. While he dyed his hair, that didn't help him in the long run. He lived a long life, yet that hardly took him out of the crosshairs in the end. Genetics isn't always kind.

Listen, that's why one's got to enjoy each and every day to the fullest, and not take THEMSELVES too seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be a bitter old dude. Youth is wasted on the young, and we all die from one thing or another. Blah blah blah. NOBODY REALLY GIVES A SHIT.
You, I, or the next person, are just specks of dust in this universe. Not even specks, but mere vibrations of energy, which, to the "observer", produces the illusion of existence in solid form.... So the question is: if there is no "observer", do you even exist?

here's a lengthy and humorous transcript of soemone paying along with the scammer. i've tried it a few times but didn't get nearly a far.
http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2005/01/playing-along-with-email-scams
i can't beleive they're hitting iwindsurf. they must have used up all the suckers they could on craig's list and ebay. fufthermore it's hard to believe this discussion has gone on this long.
as far as old and gullible, whoever implied that is mixed up or just isn't old enough to know better. it's young and gullible, old and wise.
the only person i know personally that fell for the scam was one of my son's colelge friends. he tried to borrow planfare to dubai from his parents before someone clued him in. someone should now tell his parents that maybe their son really isn't college material.

1,000% absopositivelylutely, because I don't live for observers. In fact, most observers are just obstacles, especially on a windy day on Da River.

Our country is one of the largest and wealthiest windsurfing communities in the world.
Just cause we are black......does not mean we are trying to steal money!!!!!!!
