Yes Jim:
But the virus has done it's job. By automatically sending messages to
everyone in an Outlook users address book it bogs down the net. The
purpose of these worms is to bog down the internet.
Seems to me a couple of years ago, there was a movement afoot by the
post office to charge for every outgoing email. They were losing money.
If you had to pay for every outgoing email, you would view this slightly
differently.
Just because the resource is free doe not mean we have to accept it the
way it is.
