In fact I've actually read the early-80s Rand report on email that was 
perhaps the first to make that observation. But if I can get some idiot 
reporter to breathlessly report on a mysterious bug exploit that is at 
once capable of crashing browsers on Intels, PPCs, Macs, Windows, and 
Linux, it will be well worth any personal hassles!

Anyway, if moderators aren't going to moderate, plan B is to try scaring 
the morons away. :-)
