PS: Four more people purchased it today and I can only assume that it was
from these postings, since traffic to the site
(http://www.formmailscript.com) is almost negligible. Soooooo, whoever
purchased it, please be sure to post about how useless it is, how it didn't
completely eliminate your form spam and how it wasn't worth your $10. ;-)
