Journal dolson's Journal: Crap Email

You know what I really hate? The 70 emails I had in my inbox this morning from the latest and greatest email worm that is spreading thanks to all of the Windows users out there who have my email address in their contact list somehow.

It's really wonderful to waste my time and bandwidth downloading this crap, hoping I have some important email in there, but really, I don't.

As if the initial email spam wasn't enough, each one has a 100K file attached to it. Lovely.

I really don't understand why this kind of crap can keep on happening. It's been going on for years. Why can't people go back to sending those emails that say things like "sulfnbak.exe is a virus because it has a funny icon" and such, and allow the ignorant users out there to destroy their own systems instead of spamming everyone's inboxes?

On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
