Here it is. I found it among the old Government Threads.

Ron Paul letter

That "suzie sheep" comment is hilarious.

Should you continue to post this weak-minded, pathetic Ron P. missive to the Y2K NG rather than to the Government NG just above, I have a simple suggestion. Perhaps you could develop a standard subject line. Stan does this for his 14-day prep thread, and it is a wonderful help (hmm.. how can I compare Stan's wonderful, helpful Y2K info to your simpering pap? Sorry Stan!). A standard subject line would help the hard-working, non-wacko crowd avoid your drivel and dedicate their time to the actual purpose of this news group - researching and preparing for Y2K.

I might point out to others reading this thread a warning. Each of you should be very carefull before sending money to a cause you stumble across on the web. Many requests are simply scams seeking to separate you from your cash. But, others might seek to market or otherwise exploit any info you might send. Remember, your e-mail address, bank account number and/or credit card number are quite as valuable to others as they are to you.

Sending money to a cause you hear about on the WWW is like sending money to an address you might read on the toilet wall in the bus station lounge. In other words, you might want to count to ten before you dial that number. At least thoroughly investigate each source before even corresponding through e-mail. Do not assume that other posters who validate a particular cause are objective bystanders. Like any other references you receive from a possible con-artist, they may be part of the scam or be paid contibutors. Also, a 1-800 number is not an endorsement by the Phone company - lots of con-artists start out with such a number.

Disclaimer: The Ron P. cause could be just what this country needs. On the other hand, it might not be. Your mileage may vary.

Sincerely,
