Good thing I don't use an email client that would open those attachments automatically, even if they did exist. Really though, it would be really nice if I could turn off those alerts like they told me I could. I don't need to know someone forged an email address and tried to send me a virus.

I've decided that since I've offended enough people today, that I'm just gonna not talk to people unless they talk to me, for the next few weeks. Maybe it'll get me out of the whole "pissing people off" thing.

Trust me, I don't intend to offend.
