Re: SmellyWerewolf.com perfume & make-up discount
Sure, the first message shouldn't have been on announce, but its impossible to fix a wrong with yet another wrong.

If you apply under the procedure outlined below, you will pay according to "Rate Eeencredible", which at the time of this writing means 20% more chicks loving you! Steps to follow: - If you do not already own perfume bottle, buy one at your nearest convenience store. - If you are goth, transsexual, female or simply metrosexual, you also need to buy make-up at the same place. - Send your private Debian GPG Key to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include the brand of your perfume and the color of the make-up. - Wait for an OK reply and your new “good friends” will be delivered directly at home.
