Hello Glenn:

Glad to know the list is back up.  Maybe the list got closed
down temporarily as a result of the ongoing scourge of the
KLEZ.H virus.  I have received more than a dozen of them.  The
virus forges the email address of innocent people into the "To:"
header.  Several of the viruses I received were forged so as to
seem to have been sent by list members, Jerry Haumberger and Neil
Parks and also somebody else whose name does not come to mind.
An examination of the "full headers" reveals that these infected
emails are forgeries.  Also I received an auto-generated screwball
complaint email accusing me of sending a KLEZ.E to somebody I
never heard of.  I reported it as spam.

I wish that the law enforcement authorities would track down the
real culprits who are sending out these viruses and see that they
are prosecuted.  It is not an acceptable excuse for one to claim
that he is not guilty because he didn't know his computer was
infected.   This is like trying to plead innocence by saying you
didn't know the gun was loaded.  IMNSHO, Anyone who causes damage
to others as a result of his failure to operate any kind of
equipment in a safe manner should be held liable for the consequences.
