   We have big problems here at LBX, and we need YOUR HELP!  Last month we
   put together a group modem purchase here and placed the order (with a lot
   of cash up front) with a guy who does business through his own BBS.  As I
   am sure you have guessed by now, we have been unable to get anything out
   of the guy, either modems or money.  As there is a lot of money involved
   (over $4400 for the order alone, plus legal and other expenses since the
   order) AND we are personally issuing refunds to all who placed orders, I
   have been forced to place my system up for sale to cover part of the
   expense.

   Help us raise the additional cash we need to put the guy out of business
   and get this board back on its feet by spreading the word!  One jerk
   ripping people off with a BBS could go a long way towards encouraging the
   kinds of legislation that will hurt all of our legitimate boards, and we
   will not be able to finance a lawsuit halfway across the continent
   without help.  I have not mentioned any names at the stern command of my
   attorney, but we have been in contact with a number of others who have
   also been defrauded by this individual and this guy HAS to be stopped.

   So please, send donations, post messages, do whatever you can - let's
   show this guy that legitimate BBS's will not tolerate such abuses.  If
   you need more information leave a message or call me on (voice) at (606)
   277-2497 evenings (EDT).  My address is:
