Man. Do you know how to say it. I totally agree with you and virus writing. Just because someone writes program that could be, or is a virus, they shouldn't be punished. A virus is one of the hardest programs to write, and if you accomplish that, then you have made it.

Also, I like what you said about the "ClickMe" genre.

Hehehe.

Thanks.
