Computer Users Deserve Viruses

I just don't get how stoopid computer users cna be They get an email like the explore.zip worm virus, and believe it's from their friend, simply because fot he sender's name/addy. menawhile, no oen ever repleis "Hi. I've just received your e-mail, I'll rpely ASAP. Menawhile read the enclosed zipped documents." If anyone does reply that way, they are clearly too stoopid to have any friends e-mailing them. I alsos erously doubt anyone has time to zip up files but not reply nromally. And if they did this before hand, and are only attaching it, what can be so important that they ahev tos end it to you ASAP, but not reply ASAP? And the subject seems all rong too. Would't they jsut reply to your message like any normal person does? Changing subjects is very rarely done. And the Melissa one. "Here's those stuff you asked me for. Don't let anyonre see it," What, a secret? So, you're friend is sending you stuff he/she doesn't want anybody else to see, but you are the exception. Right. And I suppose they trust you not to send it out right. Whot lask liek this? Teh fatc thta your friend is sending you an e-mail worded in a totlaly diff way than ever before is a perfecyttip not to view the stuff. why nto ask them why they tlak so funny all of a sudden. Anyone with friends who talk like this, needs new friends. is ay, let the viruses destroy their computers. Thy don't deserve to sue it,t hat's for sure. Tehy buy into funny worded e-mails thta nobody ever really sends IRL. Unless as a virus, of course. Hint Hint Hint. Gee, my college elt students ahve e-mail. maybe thta's where all the viruses appeared from.
So for God's Sakes. Read the actual phrasing of yuor e-mail, not just the words. You'll be able to spot a virus as soona s one appears. And lose any friends that do talk that way, there's something wrong with them, big time.
