Oh, bother: I was a Girl Scout for years (Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, First Class, leader!) and I distinctly remember learning not to be a whiner, which means that these the-Net-is-mean-to-girls things really cheese me off. On the other hand, 84 percent of these girls say they apply their own common sense to the problem, which is most encouraging. (Suppose the Sharpei virus writer is a Scout? I hope so. That would rock.)
