I'll add to Toey's lament - over the last month or more I've gotten 
incomplete delivery messages - ostesibly sent by me - with the following 
destination addresses attached -

burdickb@unicous.com

bwarsaw@python.org

conwayc@nctamslant.navy.mil

sales@advancelifts.com

psm111359@prodigy.net

lgauthier@nicb.org

jday@sofamordanek.com

libbyh@cssdoorway.org

47642520.1.433@mbox.surecom.com



The last one came in about 3 minutes ago.  And I didn't send ANY of those 
messages.

Each of those messages contained a virus.   It means that someone out there 
has a virus and is spreading it because they've failed to take proper 
precautions - and because they've failed to check their system regularly.

In other words - if you have these addresses in YOUR mailbox - then YOU have 
a virus.  Please fix it.

Walk softly,
Jim

PS - for Toey - Mags is right - trail community "diversity" is a 
self-serving and self-delusional myth.
