Oh no, the real problem! #Coop
... and now the emails that warn you against ILOVEYOU start pouring out from every self-important system-administrator in the world. Oh-my-gawd!
Count, so far: 1 (and that's it! Are people growing up, or does growling in evil ways at them when they warn me about vira really help?)
I haven't received a single copy of the virus (funny how less than 300 lines can nail big companies to the floor, eh?)! Cool, huh? I think it means one or more of the following:
- Nobody who has my email-address uses horribly unsafe and poorly designed software.
- Nobody wants to email me unless I email them, so they don't have to put me in their addressbook.
- My email-address is so easy to remember, that nobody has to enter it into their addressbook.
- God loves me.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
