  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.
