>>I keep seeing these word come up to decsribe a monitor.
>>They are both incorrect terms.
>>
>>Mean: full of or exhibiting malice; spiteful
>>
>>Vicious: morally corrupt; evil; depraved; having a extremely bad disposition
>>
>>Ok, I will admit some of us forum regulars might fit better under these discriptions but not a wild animal like our monitors.
