Subject: Re: making viruses

: how do i produce and send my own virus? do i have to use software?
: please help me and not give me a smart remark. i really want to fuck up
: my teachers computer.  thank you

Why do you deserve help and not a smart remark? I mean really.. so far
all I know is a) you use AOL, b) you are asking a stranger to help you
commit a felony and c) want to lash out against a public servant who gets
paid jack shit to deal with your shit.

So again.. any compelling reasons to help you?

You don't intend on messing up someone's computer, but you want a virus?
Do you not understand what viruses do?

: what do you mean Mac? if you mean computer its an Apple or if you mean
: connection dial-up.

Mac .. Apple .. same thing! Your computer runs Mac OS.

Is the computer you plan to infect running Windows, Mac OS, Unix, VMS,
AS/400, Netware or something else?

Because one virus doesn't run on multiple operating systems usually..

Subject: Re: re:

: ok. so are you going to tell me how to make a virus?

nope, i was just strining you along for later including on 'Going Postal'
(attrition.org/postal). i also wanted to make sure you realized just how
stupid your request was and just how little you knew.

: just mail me back a yes or no. if no then please give me a good web site to
: go to for help.

how about i mail AOL and/or law enforcement and let them know you are
soliciting strangers to help you commit felony computer crime, that work?

: damn. please dont. i didnt know i was a feloney to want to learn.

It isn't a felony to want to learn. It is a felony to spread a program
with destructive intentions. You realize some people that do it have
gotten arrested by the FBI and fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, on
top of prison time?

: you know how to.

actually i don't know how to write viruses. you assumed so.

: ill leave you alone them if you want. i told you just to say yes or no.

i'm incapable of a 'yes' or 'no' answer in such cases!
