Well if it is/was deliberate, the language fit the circumstances.
If it is/was a fluke, then I should not have been be so pernicious, and use such
language.
Well, in case it is/was a mistake, I'm sorry.

P.S.

I was hit again and again up and over 10+ e-mails at a time!
It came in so fast and furious it caused my outlook express to freeze and
Norton's was pushed over the limit, I even had to clean an infected file and
lost all my e-mails. It also triggered my Windows Media Player to switch on, had
to use Ctrl Alt Delete over and over again, Blue Screen after Blue Screen
appeared...which I managed to get out of...sigh..;I even had to restore my
settings many, many times:( Not to mention how many Full Viral Scans (All Files)
with Bloodhound at the highest level!

So you can see why I might not be in the best of moods!

So yeah, I was pissed er...angry/frustrated! Arghhhh!
