[A89] Re: Fw: Re: Fw: Fw: Worst Virus Ever....CNN Announced




Follow my logic here:

Let us ignore the fact that email does not contain executable code and
therefore cannot distribute a virus merely by being opened (aside from some
Outlook bugs), and forgive the sender for being computer illiterate.

Let us further assume that the sender is willing to ignore laughable attempt
at making up a technical description of the virus.

Instead, let's check out the timestamps on these messages:

Are people seriously gullible enough to assume that something could be so
significant yet never have been mentioned anywhere over the course of four
days?  Wow, my faith in mankind has just gone down the gutter.

There's only one way to respond to anyone spreading messages like this: you,
sir, are an idiot.
