That annoying virus in your inbox is an attack on SCO. Can someone tell the angry virus writing youth that as much as we understand their feelings this actually isn't helpful to anyone.

I'm seeing many of these..

I need to think about this some more before I comment. This is interesting. Its all about the bounces.

Update(2): Congrads. Someone has written a virus that has gotten me confused.. I'm not sure if what I think is happening, is happening. And I'm not receiving enough of the spams anymore to tell. This virus was doing a few odd things. Either that, or some additional weird emails that are completely unrelated to this are hitting me.. [shrug]

This is the _wrong_ type of remix culture. This shows the dangerous edge of everything I ranted about in the post below. Taking viruses, modifying them, and passing them around is helping the evolutionary process of problems, that's all. We want to evolve culture, not threats.
