A NEAT VIRUS?!?!?

Viruses are a pain in the ass. They are NOT neat. Or clever. Or interesting.
They cost innocent people to loose time, money, and information. People who
write and propagate viruses, worms, etc. on purpose should be shot! Okay,
maybe that's a little severe, but at the very least they should have their
computers taken away and their noses thoroughly tweaked! They should NOT be
admired for how clever they are when they use their expertise to engage in
antisocial activity. Someone who spends their time on a computer to create
something beautiful or useful should be admired. Someone who spends their
time on a computer creating viruses is an inconsiderate, unsocial nerd who
probably has no real friends and thinks he is going to impress people by
showing them how "clever" he is.

The commentary above is my own, and in no way reflects the opinions of my
company, the SDIY community, or SCISMO.

And this isn't a rant. It isn't, it isn't, it isn't!! And I'll pout fiercely
at anyone who says it is!!!
