Friday, September 10, 2004 cheating death in small ways As RB and I alone, as it were -- in fact or hypercontrafactual*-- constitute the soul "management" of "The Rageboy.com team," we were a bit (though only a bit) surprised to receive the following ill-intentioned spammage.And, as is the way with such faux advisories, "the attach" contained some sort of malignant virus that would have destroyed my entire world. what there is left of it to destroy, that is, which isn't all that much. But no fool I, I deleted the little monster and thus have achieved my one small victory of the year to date.Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 12:19:29 -0800 To: clocke@rageboy.com Subject: Email account utilization warning.
