now does that sound a little excessive to anyone else?



If you assume there's 200 million people who got sent a copy of either
the virus or the A/V spam replies, and that people make an average of
$10/hour, if they spent an average of 30 minutes cleaning the crap out
of their mailboxes, or waiting for an e-mail with important info to
clear through a server, or anything else in the way of inconvenience, they're
up to a billion right there.

Doesn't sound excessive to me.
