 hello.

i just received from you a message, the top portion of which is 
copied below. it was more than 2 megabytes in size. i have received 
it due to irresponsible computer use on your part.

please either acquire and install a secure operating system (which 
eliminates all varieties of windows), secure your windows machine, or 
remove it from the internet. you are entitled to run a troublesome 
operating system. you are not entitled to make your problems my 
problems.

the top portion of the message is:
