The network must not be that great, the site was slashdotted before there was even one post.

ATTENTION:SIR/MADAM
I am MR. ROB MALDA, the Director of Operations SLASHDOT.ORG. Here at VA SOFTWARE.
Our site is a "news" blog of questionable repute with years of outstanding crapflooding by the trolls of America.
I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I got your particulars through a consultant company base on my research for a trustworthy and established person that understands moderation ethic for entering into a life time profitable joint partnership moderation and also co-operation with confidence and trust that you will keep the contents secret and not divulged to any third party.
To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours posted a comment on our company's website for safe keeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his comment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of points in karma.
Consequently, in our bide to contact this client to redeem the karma which his comment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the former president of the Open Source Development Network, who died of illness after he was de-throwed in the same year the comment was entrusted into our care.
Since the death of our client President Hemos, none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the comment with us, which means that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this comment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly read the two comments that our client posted on our website. And to my surprise I discovered that the two comments that were posted by our client actually contained a considerable amount of points in Slashdot karma amounting to about 40 million karma. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of karma from his account while he was in office as head of moderation.
It is my conviction that the comment on our website was part of the karma that our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no race to this karma in our care.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this karma to your account for immediate +1 posting with your assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 30% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this karma to your account to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete karma to your account.
you have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation. This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter.
Please reply to the above email address with your telephone and fax so can call you.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully.
