I don't exhibit the same zen you have.  ;)

Although I can spot a lie like and email scam, I just get angry that some  
innocent person will fall for it.

I would have to say that the barnum reference is different.  With barnum,  
people had to go to his circus of lies first before they were enticed to  
pay $'s for the big reveal and *then* thereby becoming the suckers.

In email scams, we're getting the lies sent to us fist assuming that we  
are already the suckers.  I resent that premise.

I admire your zen.
