Attacking them is probably going to hurt him more than it's going to help everyone else. The virus is easy to spot (Fw: ) and it doesn't even infect Outlook users until it's clicked. Ignore it, or send an email telling the person how dumb they are, but there's no reason to try to attack it. - Jeff Well like i said, i thought at first it was someone being a real idiot. Which i have no sympathy for. Then the last guy who emailed us enlightened me and made me think further of how he could be the victim also. It makes much sense. Im not attacking anyone. I just was upset because everything that is a good thing nowadays seems to get ruined by a ten year old with too much time on his hands. Anyhow im done discussing this its bull*hit. Anybody need help on _FreeBSD_ =] And i apologize for jumping the gun, without fully thinking out the situation.
