Here at our office, offers of such 'deals' are common. The genuine ones are very clear-cut. Full name & corporate address, complete with contact numbers, are provided. The offer in question has all the hallmark of a 'con-job' which we have seen once too often. My intention was to call his 'bluff'. But it seems to have been misunderstood here. It is unfortunate that foresters esp. from the west often do not see eye to eye with those in the timber trade sector. This is more so if one is from the developing countries. Maybe, this accounts for the small representation from these countries on this list. Not that they are without access to e-mails or even the Internet. Maybe it's time for another list to be created as a forum for those in the timber trade. > > > > Dear Kim > After a while you will see that is more simple to send Mister Wong comment's > directly to the garbage can whitout open it than trying to make him > understand the way to talk. > :-)))) > So i did > > Do not stop your subscribe to us... > > Sincerely > > Roger > Read more about the timber trade eg. the Timber Trades Journal (UK), Tropical Timbers (UK), & ITTO Tropical Forest Update. Perhaps then you will be less jaundiced with prejudice, evenif, your hands are still lily-white. And have less axes to grind. :) Nelson Wong MTC
