I don't care how old it is, because someone not aware of the solution and there are a lot out there will unknowingly click away. This is old too, but does that mean that it's not a valid point and something someone shouldn be aware of? <http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Hundreds-Click-on-Click-Here-to-Get-Infected-Ad/>
I didn't "go off the deep-end" about it. I simply was pointing out that this is a very old hoax and you should take the time to research things before you clog up the Intertubes with quotes from Chicken Little. Malke
This, coming from YOU??? The same person who wrote this in the Linux group (one word bleeped to get past the MS filters):
I am sick and tired of your holier then thou attitude on these Newsgroups. You need to be brought down to MY level in these Newsgroups. And I will use Chicken Little, Mad Dog, Lone Ranger, whatever I like. You can not stop me.
Mr. Arnold Malke did not go off the deep end . She pointed out quite correctly that this is a scam/hoax and posted links that you can see. Instead of giving a arrogant answer you should have instead taken the time and read those links. The newsgroups are full of this link that you posted because unknowingly like you and others jumped and forwarded this scam\hoax.

I didn't like the person's tone. Therefore, she'll get no respect from me, and I don't want to hear from her again about anything. I can't make it any clearer than that.

It's you that seeks acceptance, because you have no life. It's you who need friends out here on Usenet, because you have no life. It's you who needs the approval from others, because you have no life. And it is you who must <stalk> and chase because you have no life. As long as I am helping and seeking out the poster who needs help and can provide the help, which seems to be something that you cannot do as I have seen you in action, is all that counts. All *clowns* like you have your little personal agenda. Your agenda doesn't me *jack* to me, and you keep right at it. The bottom line here is that you have no life. The bottom line is you can't stop me from helping people. The bottom line is that you really don't know jack about computer systems.

All I see you doing is <stalking> and seeking argument, and I'll repeat it to you, because you have no life, and you're out here just a little too much on Usenet to be sane. You remind me of the nut-job Bart in an AV NG that did the same thing when I opened his nose several years ago. The young lad chased me all over the place. I don't know what happened to the young lad. He just disappeared and was never seen again. You're not that young.
Several months too late..... That's an old, recurring one. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot
Unlike Bart, I'm not going away. I may be old - wish me Happy Birthday: I turn 65 Friday! - but I've still got good strong legs and more will power than you'd like me to have.
As you can see, I have an impersonator. It's not the first time or the last time it will ever happen. It's kind of old hat and is something that is to be expected on Usenet. But am I going to go off the deep-end like Montgomery and start stalking? No, I don't think so. ;-)
