THE MINDSET OF A BLIND SHEEP:
Back when I was a stupid newbie, I would make up scenarios where I would profit, even though the facts indicated otherwise. The following email makes me look quite stupid, as I most certainly was. But I will repost it here, for educational purposes.
BACKGROUND: I had bought into a total scam company called "Telatinos" and lost all my money. In reality, there was NO company at all - yet I had convinced myself it was real and would be the next AT&T of South America. So I began sending emails to Johanne Torres, a telcom reporter at TMC.net. She never once answered my crazed messages asking her to report on Telatinos, probably because she was too busy laughing. Here is my second email to her, after I had received no reply to the first:
Good morning Johanne,
I believe you ARE working the Telatinos story, very stealthily. I do have additional info which I can share if you need it. I have been "down in this thing" for quite some time, I know who to trust and who to ignore. If you don't reply, that's fine. But definitely keep going on this one! If my thoughts are correct, This is huge because it involves so much more than a Telecom/ISP/VoIP deal. It may even become a major national/international headline.
I have told no one about this latest contact with you. I understand.
Sincerely
Andy
