For the dear love of all that's holy (pick a religion), did anyone actually
-READ- my message?  It came through the Windows Update Service--the part
of Windows that MS actually uses to check their own site for updates and
offer them.  We refuse to use auto-updates.  We check the Details button,
and that's where the note detailed what the patch pertained to.

Where did I say it came through email notification?  If you think I'm
unaware of the idiotic schemes, you must be joking.  Must be.  I think I've
even chimed in here a dozen or so times about the stupidity of what people
will actually fall for, over various OT threads.  Does 2+2 still equal 4?
Unlike some, I actually practice what I preach, so the possibility of me
falling for something like this is nil--I'm one of the people that ends up
analysing everyone else's email when they're "not quite sure".  *eyeroll*
I'd hardly fall for something like that myself.

Congratulations on being the second person to insult me this evening.  :)
