Dont be so patronising, this is a place to help people,
not submit them to your self righteous rhetoric on PC
security... You did learn not to be such a moron after
the "I love you" incident in the staff canteen didn't

even if you think it might be a love note for you from a
long term friend or you think you are
otherwise "interesting", right?
