Sorry about that, bad week, winding up for hell/dead/finals weeks. You're
right, it does get annoying to have every non-techie source trying to
become 'cyber' oriented scream about the lethality of 'subversive' virus
programmers, because in all reality, viruses aren't very dangerous if you
know what you're doing. Incompetence (read: people who want to get on the
net but want everything loaded in utilities for them so they don't have
to learn ) has always irritated me; I think someone should learn to do
things for themselves (this would greatly alter the thread we had a month
ago on government). I'm not making any accusations, when the Hansons
posted that message, that was one way to learn. However, there are many
places to learn about viruses, we are here for SR. Again, sorry, and back
to topic.
