Hi All,
Check this out -- it looks like someone else is jumping into the
science-fiction miniatures market. See the message below which
was posted on the rec.games.miniatures.misc newsgroup. It sounds like this guy
is pretty inexperienced, so he probably won't pose
a threat to the FT/SG/DS2 figures.
-- Rick
I apologize in advance for the junk appended to this message by the mail
server.

A good rule of thumb is to ignore anything posted by Paul Perry and deal with
him minimally.
Rick, if you want more info post your message to our one list and get a
response from Jeremy.

For what it's worth...

what's this [CLEAN STAMP] on the subject line is this some
virus checker - just curious

To begin with, I'd like to apologize for the need for this explanation.
The mail server at esr.com (the company I work for) appends the
words, "[CLEAN STAMP]" to the subject line of every e-mail message
sent by that server. It is intended to advertise the fact that esr.com
uses the WorldSecure virus-checking server to scan both incoming and
outgoing e-mail messages for viruses. The mail server also appends
a notice which explains that, " This email message and any attachments were
scanned by the WorldSecure Server that protects Electronic Systems and it's
customers. No Viruses were detected in this message."
As an information security professional, I am especially embarassed by this
advertisement, because: 1) Nothing protect people from all possible viruses,
because nobody knows what form these viruses will take in the future, and
2) Proclaiming that all the e-mail from esr.com will always be clean
of viruses is equivalent to hanging a big "CLUELESS" sign around the
collective necks of all the esr.com employees.
I am currently arguing with my managers about this, and I hope to have the
notice removed RSN (Real Soon Now), but for the time being the notices will
continue to appear.
My other e-mail account is my work (military) account, and I am
not allowed to use that for personal mailing-list traffic.
Mark Seidl: Please let me know if the "[CLEAN STAMP]" is more than
a simple annoyance -- I will unsubscribe from the list and find an
alternative way to participate.

Ohh, and here I thought this was some newfangled way of email postage. I
really wish someone would come up with a new way... I hate licking the things,
and I'm running out of screen to paste them on.;)
