I would think a virus that has been around for 7 months, is still infecting 2000 new people a day, and is suspected to be contained in 1 in every 300 email messages (I get about 20 a day) would be a pretty "geeky" topic. Sure it's not completely on topic, but I've seen worse. The biggest probelm is it's not worth getting bent out of shape about it. If it's because of recieving alot of irrelevent emails, then you made it worse for you and everybody else by making a production of this. I'm not trying to start a flame war, just calm down a little. =) --jason
