YOU and all the idiots like you are one of the reasons the internet is awash with WINDOWS viruses - because you can't be arsed to keep your computer secure. I don't give a monkey's nuts about YOUR computer but I do give a fig about having to protect mine from idiots like YOU. CRETIN.

Hey Cretin, So you did download my crack for Windows 7? The message you get about viruses is completely false. I only distribute clean cracks. I can send you direct to your mailbox if you wish!! Are you upset that I bonked your sister and wife in a three-some? I have to say they are completely useless and if it is in the family then you too must be completely impotent and so taking out your anger on these newsgroups!! Have you thought of seeking medical advice?
