I wrote, after reading 3000000000000 messages telling me not to post Trojan
Horse Condoms on the ML :

The next person to send me a Re : Trojan Virus Warning will get flamed from
here to hell.  It was an honest mistake, my first and last one be assured.
Thank you.

<Name clipped> scribed to me, personally...

    And the next shitfaced post like that will get you (and I quote) "flamed

>from here to hell."

And here I scribe, to the ML, in a state of frustration and some anger mixed
with a feeling of betrayal :

          THE APOLOGY AND MY POINT OF VIEW ON THIS WHOLE THING.

        Shitfaced?!  

        An honest mistake on my part gets me a trillion messages, in
successive and _chronological_ order telling me not to post shit like Trojan
Horse Virus Warnings ever again on the friggin ML.  After the first message,
I got the point but I had to go through a quadrillion other messages
(personal and posted) telling me, in various levels of politeness ranging
from "DON'T YOU EVER DO IT AGAIN, OR ELSE!!!"  to  "Please be aware that
this message is a hoax and outdated", that leaves me red faced in
embarassment, beating myself over the head with a mallet, and deleting the
original Trojan Horse Warning message with a stab of my index finger on the
DEL key!!!!! ...........rrrrrghh--STAB!!!  Crash!  My keyboard had jumped
ten feet in the air and fell to the floor!

                                !!CALM DOWN!!

        So I didn't know it was twenty-eight point six two years old, or
something like that.  What mattered was the thought.  (Thanks to Mihoshi for
this one) -> I thought I was doing a service of a sort by warning people of
a virus (didn't know it was outdated at that time).

        So it was a hoax.  Sorry for trying to warn other people of
something that I didn't know was a hoax.  I'm sure that there are people out
on the ML who think I'm doing the hoax on purpose.  I would like to tell
those people that it got posted to me, somehow and somewhere, I read it and
responded.  That's that.  Nothing else.  


        So, the next time I get crap like "Warning : Aliens from Mars will
attack on Halloween", I'll @#^$&^@# FLAME THE HELL OUT OF THE PERSON WHO
SENT IT TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE and I'll not post the damnable thing on any
ML.  Sounds fine to everyone?

End of rave.  End of discussion.
