How perfect a medium for the conman (I now see) - composition at leisure, no body language or facial expressions, let alone voice intonation or other facets of vocal delivery, to worry about. My advice - beware the heavy text-messager! The other aspect of this blog entry that rings oh so true for me?

It's better to pay more to have people screened. Even then there is no guarentee of safety. Does that quote from Dr. Meloy come from his book, Violent Attachments? I recommend this book to readers who have the patience for technical reading. Donna,
