I am ashamed to admit I fell for this.

Lucky I run an anti-virus.

Well, I trust myself more than anybody, so it would make sense that I open it.

Skywing, you don't know how much fun you're missing out on! You don't truly experience life until you've massively spammed your own e-mail account!

If being one of the most intelligent persons on these forums makes him a dipshit, what does that make you?

Why do you keep encouraging him Tuberload?

I have refrained from posting anything involving this situation, until now. I am sorry but I could not help myself.

Addition: How do I keep encouraging him? I have made one comment, and you make it sound like I have been replying like a mad man.
