More info?)
the volume of those posts is directly related to the stupidity of users
opening attachments in email from people the dont know.
99% of those messages are generated and posted without the owner of the
computer that did the posting ever knowing about it. So, you comentary is
more aptly directed at the highest level of ignorance and internet
illiteracy that the net has ever known.
Feel free to start a campaigne to educate the masses as to the dangers of
being stupid while on the internet. If you could figure out a way to make
money doing it, you would have a paying job for all of eternity.
