[pchelpers] Re: virus maybe???

Definitions of genuine:
adjective:   not fake or counterfeit
Example: "A genuine Picasso"
adjective:   not pretended; sincerely felt or expressed
Example: "Genuine emotion"
adjective:   being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of
something
Example: "A genuine dilemma"

I think the man meant it may be a genuine virus. And if so then he was
genuine in saying so & if it is a virus which I expect it was then it was
indeed a genuine pain in the neck.
