In the past 24 hours I have received three e-mails from a Michael
Chiaravalloti (theoliver50@hotmail.com) requesting that I send him, free of
charge, several pieces from sets I have inventoried and posted to
lugnet.db.inv.  I am not entirely sure how to handle this or why someone
would do this.  It bothers me a bit that information I posted to Lugnet is
now coming back to bite me.  The e-mail headers don't appear to be faked but
I'm still hesitant to respond.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I'm a
little confused as to the motive.  Does he actually believe he will somehow
get free pieces from someone???

   I've gotten wacky emails that are out of touch with reality before.
   My response is simply to ignore them.  Delete, move on.  Don't answer,
   because if they're spoofed headers, they may be checking to see if
   you're "live."  An archival search shows nothing for his name, either
   on LUGNET or through Google.  So it's probably just someone who's
   hopeful but either naive (probably a kid) or just clueless.

   My response would be "ignore."
