Member Retired Gumby Posts: 740 | ND- Her mistake is bothering to open something that is obviously advertising junk, instead of just deleting it without reading it. Her mistake is always thinking "well maybe it won't be advertising junk this time". She may not realize that she's helping to propigate a virus, but she has to realize that she's wasting her own time reading the crap. ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | She doesn't realize it's advertising junk. She believes it's addressed directly to her by a person who knows her, as she only gived out her address to friends. That's the ultimate problem, and not only with her, but many others: they think that once you "install Internet" on their computer, they will need to allow others to have access to them, and not need to prevent others from contacting them. ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Does she really think that her friends own all these credit card companies, and penis enlargers, and cable descrambler sellers and whatnot?! You don't have to understand anything about computers to recognize an ad. You don't have to know anything about computers to recognize that the email saying "free credit card" is every bit as much of an ad as the one that said "credit card for free". ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |
