    All I'm saying is that viruses are worse than spam.  Spam is just 
advertising.  It's inconvenient and invasive, but it's pretty harmless 
(possible exception:  very graphic, very explicit porn spam like I 
sometimes get).  It is not going to go away.  Fighting spam is futile.
    Viruses are nasty and malicious and have no other reason to 
exist.  Those who create and circulate them should be shot.  Fighting 
viruses would work if people were as concerned about them as they are about 
spam.  They should be.
    That's just my opinion.

PS - Just received my 10th copy of the Klez virus today!
