The searching and failing is not what Nicolas said makes you stupid.

The searching and failing then asking here is not what Nicolas said 
makes you stupid.

What he, and several others of us, said makes you stupid is that you
_forwarded the whole message when you suspected the attachment was a 
virus or something similar_.

Your inability to accept that that was extremely stupid is seen as 
quite reasonably reinforcing that belief.

Lemme guess -- its the "national be an asshole day" in Belgium today?

(I guess I will get another bounce from Washington Dental Services.  
It seems "tw*t" was too un-businesslike for WDS -- here it means 
something like "idiot" or "moron" -- so I guess the use of "asshole" 
in this message will upset their "profanity detector" too...)
