    $31 million! Why that won't even buy an F-18 ($35
    million) much less the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, cost
    to the US Navy:$45,000,000 each. Certainly
    beware of anyone pretending to be affiliated with
    a present or past government and dealing in such
    paltry sums.

    Let's not discuss this since it is unrelated to Mg-Ed-Dv in my judgment.

    Is there no where to escape from this Nigerian "offer". Not even on an
    listserv such as this!!!
    This must be about the 20th time (in various versions) I have been offered this
    scam. I am sure that many others have also been presented with similar
    versions. The penalty for posting such items should be removal from the list.
