Someone is trying to Mock Me / Rock Me

Someone is trying to Mock Me / Rock Me
Beware of phishing schemes!

Best of the Easter Roses,
John French

Phished ;(

When describing "phishing" most descriptions include "done for malicious intent."

That sucks. And so do the people who phish.

I had something circulated that was private (other wise I would have posted it here or circulated it myself) and that sucks.

In addition, "someone" actually composed an email as me and sent it into a show I have allot of respect for and embarrassed me! ...and, to make matters worse, then circulated it in a forward.

What's the purpose here?!

So you may not like me or like what I write or who I write to - sure I've heard it all before - but that's my business and not yours.

You are you and I am me and let's keep it that way.

Fuck!
