Well now, this wins the award for the silliest rant I've heard for a
while. I mean really, Dave... get a grip.

As I suspected, none of these messages originate from Ralf. Just
checking the original headers on the most recent batch of six I got
overnight...

What this tells me is that someone realized the .edu addresses on the
listserv were low hanging fruit. Nice job. Try partying
less, studying
more, and figure out how to keep yourself from being infected (on
multiple fronts). [aside: pisses me off that I have to deal
with spam
from cracked/infected boxes from .edu domains ... I think I'm
just going
to reject all .edu-headered mail. it's a hugely sad commentary that
people from institutions of *higher* education can't grasp
the concept
of DON'T CLICK ON F^KING ATTACHMENTS YOU'RE NOT EXPECING and USE A
[EMAIL PROTECTED] A/V PACKAGE ALREADY, DAMNIT. I mean really, people.. you're
shelling out a TON of money and you don't seem to be one lick smarter
than Jimmy Joe-Jobber's mom who'll click on everything and anything
since getting her PC two weeks ago. If you're as f%$king
stupid as you
appear to be, give it up .. save yourself the money and give
your slot
at school to someone else. There no shame in doing manual
labor for a
living. Society needs both ends of the spectrum. If you
can't figure
out the don't click stuff, I have no idea what you're going
to do with
number theory or algorithms (assuming you're in a CS
program). I vote
to kick the .edu's off the listserv until they prove they've got an
intellectual agility quotient above that of a small soapdish.
If this
pisses off admins for .edu's, sorry .. life's a bitch, grab a helmet.
The rest of us out in the real world have to deal with [l]users like
this and keep our networks clean for the rest of the planet -
you're no
different... you just have a harder job that I certainly don't envy.
Perhaps instituting a three strikes policy for students ..
the first
infection gets you a warning .. the second gets you booted off the
school's network .. the third (meaning you violated both the 2nd AND
1st) gets you booted from school. Hrmm.. not a bad idea, I suppose.
Anyway .. rant mode is now OFF.]
Kind-ish Regards,
