Viruses don't forward themselves to just one person. A few of us received the same warning from her, and there was no attachment.

I can't see Susan intentionally e-mailing Brendy. I can't see her intentionally sending him a virus. I can't see Brendy lying about having received one. These are two basically decent people who have traits and tendencies that the other person can't stand. Brendy and WYSIWYG also have enough folks around here who absolutely hate one of them enough to join the party and revel in that hatred.

What I can see is (and forgive me for being paranoid) someone realising:
1. It's very easy to yank Brendy's chain.
2. It's very easy to forge "From" and "Reply to" addresses.

There are a few people around here who possibly hate both Brendy and WYSIWYG, or perhaps hate only her and know Brendy will just do what they expect him to do. There are some people around here who are fully capable of doing something as sinister and illegal as this.

I hope for the sake of the truth, Brendy really did complain to someone who can figure out where the message originated.

And yeah, this is just speculation - just another possibility.
