Now I might be a newer IPVM staffer, but I know John Honovich well enough to know this text isn't from his phone number, and he doesn't write like a Nigerian prince. In fact, if I recall correctly my immediate response to this text was blurting out the famous Admiral Ackbar phrase "It's a traaaaap!" Be that as it may, I engaged.
