This is a short-sighted attitude. The problem is that their ignorance or
stupidity affects a lot of other people. I have been getting more than
10 MB of the sobig worm most days. Something like this can really waste
a lot of computer resources. I can automatically filter them out so they
don't require my attention or time, but they still consume bandwidth as
they propagate around the internet. A LOT of bandwidth. And what if it
had been reallybig, say 10MB each instead of 100KB?
