Snit1 - dishonestly
The ad in question: <http://snipurl.com/viruswhatvirus> Quote in question (slowed down): <http://snipurl.com/Slow_Quote> "no no do not be a hero, ***LAST YEAR*** there are 114,000 known viruses for PCs." [emphasis mine, poor grammar Apple's]
1) Wally
for doing so). He2 - dishonestly
"quoted" it as: "no no do not be a hero, actually there are 114,000 known viruses for PC's.........". In his doing so, he used poor grammar (note the "PC's"). This is relevant based on #2:3 - honestly

nor with supporting the use of improper grammar.I'll bet you send food back in restaurants, huh? A lot? Be honest, now.
How much trolling will Wally do over the above facts?
