Update: Samnation has contacted me, and says:



1) He did not make the post in question; it's a forgery.



2) There are currently no active email addresses at emale.com.

Update 2: We received the following message:



I am NPG2020, and I posted 2 amp about the Crystal Ball 2 question, and I was in no way trying 2 fake out or forge anybody, I am not affilliated with NPGonlineLTD I just used emale.com as an anonymous e-mail 2 avoid spam, maybe I'll choose another name, thanx? Sorry 4 any misconceptions.

Regarding the recent news about CB II, here's an interesting bit of news: Samnation, maintainer of NPGonlineLTD.com, recently (Sun, 07 May 2000 17:31:39 GMT) posted a message on alt.music.prince under the name "NPG" with the email address NPG2020@emale.com, with the following subject: "What songs do u want on Crystal Ball 2?"



The actual contents of the post are a single line:



"What songs do u want on Crystal Ball 2 if u get 2 vote?"

I'm not 100% sure that it was really posted by someone from emale.com; the post was made via mediaone.net.
