Thread Name: NEW VIRUS - Hoax or real?
Subject: RE: NEW VIRUS - Hoax or real?
Yeah.......I got a story for you on this one. Karen's sister mailed me this one (along with 738 of her closest friends Jeri) and I checked and found the thing on several sites including Norton(Symantec) and the CDC.

Karen and Heather have had a poor relationship over the past few years and they were just starting to talk a bit. Heather has a BS in Nursing (paid for partly by Karen) but went back to school again and got into computer stuff......Just as well, she's a lousy nurse. She is married to a guy who also works in the computer field and they are both completely absorbed in it. With all of that, she still sends this one out all over!

So me, being the asshole that I am, RESPOND to all 738 (or whatever) friends and to her explaining impolitely that she and her hubby are both idiots if they do this stuff for a living and yet glom the net with Klingerman Crap. That effectively ended any progress she and Karen were making and Karen is happier for it. Heather sent back replies to everyone but me apologizing for her brother-in-law. When I found out, I sent them apologies for her apology and said I meant what I said. She gave up.

Gawd, I'm an asshole!!! (You have to know the rest of the Heather story to understand)
