I voted for the first option, but with this caveat: also inhabiting this section of hell should be all the idiots who create/pass along forwards for fake viruses and/or urban legends without bothering to check if they are real. Nothing makes me more irritated than getting email after email about virus hoaxes and security threats that have LONG AGO been disproven. All it would take is a simple google search or a trip to Symantec\'s virus page or hoaxbusters or any of the other numerous websites out there devoted to debunking these myths. These emails about fake viruses, security warnings, phone scams, attackers, etc. do nothing but create unnecessary panic and clog email inboxes.

Can you tell this is a pet peeve of mine? <G>
