I Don't Think So

I received this email a couple of days ago:

Subject: webcam and headset suggestions

I encourage you to consider getting at least a headset microphone (ideally with an on/off switch for microphone, a volume control for earphones, and with the earphones being soft sponge like muffs, and with plugs not a USB interface), as they only cost around $15, and ideally a webcam (I recommend the Logitech Quickcam Messenger model which looks like a white golf ball and has excellent optics – these cost around $30, and do have USB interface). Both are available from computer stores such as Radio Shack, Dick Smith, or Tandy, or online via for example EBay.

Happy to demonstrate them if you like. :-)

I can also ring most places in the world for free via Voice over the Internet Protocol (VOIP), including where you are at. :-)

Gag me with a spoon! I thought that saying was dead, but it's the only thing appropriate that I can come up with to summarize my thoughts and feelings. I know this guy is playing the numbers game, but has any woman ever actual bought a webcam and/or a mic after receiving this email?
