Is it April Fool's Day again already? I specified explicitly that it was a
hoax, even in the TITLE of the message which you replied to (did *anyone*
else here think "latest virus hoax" indicated a genuine virus warning?),
listed a site you could go to to confirm it WAS a hoax (which you ignored),
and you STILL thought I was saying it was a real virus? And you insult me
in public as a result? No, I never saw that one coming, that's for sure.
I'm trying hard not to be equally rude in return, but who exactly is being
foolish here?
