If my whole ISP becomes infected by a hoax? I don't understand what you're
saying. I think the rumors that go around about virii and the people who
correct the rumors and the people who correct the people who correct the
rumors are far worse than the actual virii because there are so many more of
them. How about if we add "spreading unsubstantiated virus rumors" to the
list of reasons people get booted off this list.

Kent,
I agree with you about virus software but I try not to rant about it. It
does matter if it's a hoax because the misinformed are spreading potentially
damaging information. Given that we are plugged in to the net, we are
affected even if we have AV software and do all the good things we are
supposed to do for the care and feeding of the Wintel. We've all seen the
daisy chain effect of a virus in a closed loop of a list. Imagine what
happens in a worst case scenario of an ISP where enough of its subscribers
are infected and know each other. What an interesting mess. What if it's
the ISP you use? Maybe this hasn't happened yet. I'm not sure that it
can't - the nasties are gettting increasingly bad.
Season's best,
Mike
>Does it really matter whether it is a hoax or not? If you don't have virus
software... If you don't have up to date virus software... If you click on
everything that drops into your inbox (can I say "box"? I know this is a
non-cussing list.) WHAT FREAKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!!?????
(Substitute your favorite adult word for "freaking".)
