*sigh* It -was- a joke.  It was so far fetched I didn't think anyone
would even think about taking it seriously.  However, I think you're
the second who's seemed to indicate they were seriously pondering this
"new threat".  It was an attempt to educate.

I would have verified this before posting, yes.  I do have the resources
available to verify should I at any moment in time thought this -might-
be true.

Don't waste your time, it was a joke.  I was -trying- to show the
original
poster how silly his whole idea was so maybe he would think twice and
-he-
would investigate before posting.

That's because it is.  Again, it was inserted to poke fun.
