Not everyone may do the necessary things to prevent them from happening, maybe because they don't know WHAT to do. Thus, this presents an opportunity for those who don't know and may have questions to ask. b - 4.2K is not a big file; notice that many -- including me -- send others that are in the 20ies or better, depending on the subject. And this list has not been stacked up for being over the 100 mark very often as of late. c - I will reemphasis my point about "information warfare" and the types of things that come through that will effect a disruption of computer functions -- spam, email viruses, bogus information, and other things -- a disruption that will have further reaching effects than a simple (relatively) email list. Yahoo! for one does funny things for no reason at all. MSN is hokey. And what they do is part of their business; we all need to be aware of what will cause the disruptions and how to prevent / recover from them. A<>E<>R <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis- directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
