Does anyone else in here find the comments by someone I have
never seen in this file before somewhat interesting ??
I would be cautions on being a virus know-it-all from the stand
point some of us may begin to think it was you who set it off
on us ..
Those of us that got caught is because we opend it from a fellow
member of this file that we know and trust and not because are
stupid as you imply.. Some sleezeball out there took advantage
of our trust in members of this file and exploited it for their
own petty selfish childish mind mentality..
