    Anyone else hear from Chip, or is this some...

    ...kind of spam. It was indeed his e-mail address, but I think it's the latter. Some other RR members were included in the e-mail and I can't for the life of me believe this is really from him, based on all the typos and errors in syntax. Check it out;

    you a good company who mainly sell many electronic
    products such as laptops, cameras,mobile

    .They can guarantee the higher quality, lower price
    and better services.What's more important,the price
    is really a big surprising happiness for shopping!
