The Pluperfect Virus: In May of 1999, Cybersatirist Bob Hirschfeld of bobsfridge.com wrote a humorous satire about an imaginary virus that refused to send email that was grammatically incorrect. Published in The Washington Post and quickly picked up by other media publications, his article eventually found its way into email inboxes and was considered a hoax or a true virus report by many. It was neither. It is simply a funny story written by a funny guy.
Mr. Hirschfeld has since published his satiric article, titled The Pluperfect Virus, online here.
