I read- okay, I skimmed the Virus web page. In general, the ideas are sound. I can agree with some of it, and maybe I'm a case study in virus propogation. When I first came on, I couldnt understand the underlying statements and in-jokes, so I selected something that didn't seem terribly off-topic, and brought it up. It's making more sense now, but it seems that every time I write, everyone responds with pretty much the same thing. This is why I'm only answering to one. If you don't believe me, read the last 1/2 dozen messages.
