You can't have her (him?)! She/he/it talked to me first!

But seriously, they already caught and deleted that one.

Where's the sophisticated scripting in that? Its just sending an identical message to lots of people.

Also because I'm a bit pedantic at heart and since I rarely get a good opportunity of putting my classical education to use:

The correct spelling would be : et tu Brute?
Of course that quote comes from the Shakespear play; while Suetonius who lived 1500-odd years closer to the event in question reports people claiming that what Caesar actually said was καὶ σὺ τέκνον [Kai su teknon? / You too (my) child?], since like any educated Roman Caesar spoke Greek.

That was your useless historical factiod for the day, now returning you to your regularly scheduled thread, unless you dare proceed further into the dark pit of Wikipedia
