RE: [OT] This virus crap's gotta stop!

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

You know Ive been thinking about my last three posts for as many minutes.
First I want to apologize for my quick reaction and it was nothing personal
against Ryan. This isnt first time it has come true...Im sick of hearing
about. And we all should know by now not eveyrone will turn HTML off. So why
bring it up again threatening people. Im not going to turn it on and off for
posting to the list. Period. In outlook you can set mail certain addresses
to only be sent in plain text. I have this turned on and have since the
first post about this 3 years ago.
	For everyone having so much knowledge of this virus why dont they just get
the correct security updates.
	Im sick of this shit on list, sick of all the BS 0ff-topics, "how do I
change my tire?" read the damn archives people and if you have a bentley
read it first for christ sake. "Use the delete key".....I do and I have
caluses from. "Then get off the list"...done.

Thank you for your time.

I don't use HTML, but I can't see forcing people to
NOT use HTML.  Viruses are as much a responsibility of
the receiver as they are of the sender, and really
don't have anything to do with HTML postings.  If they
are embedding javascript then you might have a
problem, but strict HTML is not an executable
language.

Don't open attachments.
Especially if it is from another guy professing his
love to you....

Anything that needs to be sent in an email can be put
into the body, or specifically noted as an attachment.

I think people should be required to take basic net
awareness and etiquette classes before being given an
e-mail account... When you give every moron the
ability to instantly reach anyone in the world, there
are bound to be problems.....

Of course I think that people should also pass minimum
parenting skills tests before they should be allowed
to reproduce...

Think to yourself how stupid the average person is
Then remember that 1/2 the world is dumber than that.
