Leo, Thanks for posting the Virus Story. My local New York City paper buried the story in a small blurb at the bottom of page 19.

The court should have made him pay for the $80,000,000 damages, too. Jerks like that should be dragged and quartered.

20 months in the slammer and a $5,000 fine? Give me a break....
