Might be the dumbest thing I've ever done and there's a lot of competition in that category. Bleeping amazing. On the fear that someone's going to siphon money out of your bank account without you knowing you end up paying for something you didn't need for years - it's been going on for four years at least. Painful to think about. I got into it halfway normally, one of my laptops got overrun by spam before I knew it. It was incredible. I could not figure out how to de-spam or unclog it. I took it to some guy paid him a couple hundred and he got it back to 95% normal.

I will now write on the blackboard 10 times:

Don't be stupid ... again.
