Thanks for the info, but a quick google would have shown this same concept at least twice before. This is pretty much spam working on human nature to e-mail it to as many people as possible because it's the nice thing to do. If you need fuel, you need fuel whether you buy it on September 1st or September 2nd. This e-mail is also waaaaaaaaaaaay off-topic from being closely related to linux or open-source, unless you are trying out an open-source spam filter. :-) Please kill the thread.
