You'd probably get arrested like that guy in the Phillipines.  Redistributing
an already potent virus isn't worth joking about, it's really causing a lot of
problems out in the M$ world and as much as we would like to dislike it,
Windoze is pretty nice for beginning users, but regardless there will always be
someone to abuse whatever software we put out there.  Getting back to the

consider moderated subscriptions?
