What a load of bunk, I can’t believe people are stupid enough to forward these, and believe them! There is no way that Microsoft would send out MSN info in this way. 578 addresses left, nonsense, a pay for service no nonsense, the director would just say “Hi, it’s Andy” and most of all, I hate the >>> bits, what are they for????? I’m also less than fond of “add yourself to my birthday calender” and “Join me on Bimbo (I mean bebo). So just don’t forward these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Add comments if you can think of more nonsense.
