See, this is the big difference between Dare and me. If I got an email saying "this is Bill Gates's office, Bill wants to know if your father is the President of Nigeria", I'd write back: "Sure he is. And I'd like Bill's help in getting some of his money out of Nigeria. Naturally, I'll pay a 10% finder's fee. Just give me Bill's bank account number...."<p>Actually, I suppose the fact that Dare's father actually <i>is</i> the President of Nigeria is another difference.

"BillG" has such a bad vibe from being associated with Microsoft. Every time you hear some personal story of him he's an awesome guy.
