Robert,

Since you sent this to the list I guess I should reply similarly.

You quoted my entire reply to someone about this virus stuff, am I to assume
that I am the one you are talking about that you have never seen on this
file (I assume you mean listserv) before?????

I have been on here since Jan of 1997 and participate regularly if not every
day.

Never said I was a virus know it all. As to accusing me of setting it off,
I think you'd better have some more proof before you start pointing fingers.
Has anyone, ever, received an attachement from me? Other than jpegs that
someone asked for, I think not.

Did I imply you were stupid? What I said was that the fact that some people
have virus problems is a direct result of something they did or software
that they allow to run on thier computers. If you have learned something
from this and you are smarter now than before then that is a good thing
right? Your smarter right?

I think you give far to more credit to the creator of the virus. I see no
evidence that this list was targeted, they end up going everywhere that you
let them.

later,
