Read My Lips - the blog

doin' a smatterin' of good?

Often times I wonder if I do more good than I believe with some of my inane postings. You remember this little short blurb from a couple of days ago?

Complete Idiocy™ » Where do they find these people?

I just received an email from some unknown moonbat with a juno.com email address with the subject line: A WinXP patch. There is a 137kb file attached to a simple email that reads:

This is a WinXP patch
I wish you would enjoy it.

I don't know. What do ya'll think? Should I install the patch?

I didn't think so either. I was just wondering who would actually install some file that some strange person sends them in this manner. Does it not just yell -- Idiot, here is a virus for you to load into your computer?

Well it seems someone from the MD Anderson hospital hit on that blurb on one of the multitude of Google searches that seem to be goin' on today:

I am hopeful that my sarcastic remarks stopped some cancer patient down in Houston from openin' a similar attachment and ruinin' their laptop. I am gonna believe that happened. I would like to think that I do some actual good for worthy strangers from time to time by bringin' these inane things I find into the open. Oh by the way, I really do love the level of detail that StatCounter delivers.
