Did you really write this long post about how a *gasp* impostor on the internet made you sad? Life must be pretty rough... Are you really this gullible?

I really, really look forward to go to New Zealand, never been there before, but 99% of the people I've talked to had the same response as you had. Hope for you to get back there sometime soon :-) ... Hi, and thanks for reading my blog.

Your English is fine, as you surely know. You want depressing? Try having an email exchange with the tech support department of a company in the UK where the workers, born and bred in the UK I BELIEVE (I can't be sure), simply can't write in English and can't understand simple questions sent in an email. Congrats on moving to the most beautiful country I've ever been to. I can't say enough nice things about or the people there. I hope to go back some day.

Now it's gone, let's move on, each in its own direction... OK, I write code too, it was just the phising situation (the the fact that you claimed to be the other person) that bothered me.

I'm sorry it had to come to this. But maybe I'm not the hero you think I am. I'm just a programmor... just writing code each day of my life... all for what? LINUX. But is LINUX the key? Think about it. In the end, we must find the key to what it is to do in life. I found LINUX. It is up to you to find yours. Listen, man… I’m sorry it had to come to this.

I was the victim of a scam from somebody who I believed was a respectful, honest and well-behaving guy I knew. When it turned out that I had been scammed, I was happy, although this cost me about 100 USD, which I would never see back in my wallet. Yes, I was happy, because otherwise I would have been extremely disappointed that a guy I thought to be great, would have been acting like such a jerk. Too bad such things happen.
