Just wanted to remind everyone that today is Earth Day so you should make an extra effort to do something nice for the planet today.
Tomorrow you can go back to your usual behaviors if you feel like it (though I recommend trying whatever you choose out for some time and see if it grows on you).

Recently several organizations have issued what they consider the top email scams.
First is the Federal Trade Commission’s report which lists them as:
1. Business opportunities
2. Chain letters
3. Work-at-home schemes
4. Health and diet scams
5. Effortless income
6. Free goods
7. Investment opportunities
8. Cable descrambler kits
9. Guaranteed loans or credit, on easy terms
10. Credit repair
11. Vacation prize promotions
Forbes recently listed the top scams (not just Internet) and I have seen all of these (especially the one which is all about the Internet) in bulk emails:
1. Home Construction
2. Bait and Switch Mortgage
3. Fake Check
4. Internet Coaching Services
5. Layaway Loans/Payday Loans
