The first part of this thread is at Help: the last thing I want to read...

PAH, I've been on the receiving end of Brendy's onslaughts myself, so I'm happy to leave him to speak for himself in his own choice of language. But I would just say this: if some interfering Do Gooder sent me a gratuitous warning about a virus, with a message that itself contained a virus, I'd feel very much like Brendy obviously did. I wouldn't let it show quite so much, but that just shows we all have different thresholds, and I'm not sure that stifling or hiding one's reaction is all that clever anyway.
