Ah, fair enough.
I was just concerned sinse it looked like a rather dodgy link, though of
course anyone can have problems that way just as a consequence of using a
computer.
I hope it didn't do said member or anyone else any serious harm./
All the best,
DArk.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] virus alert! on list
Hi Dark,
I see. Well, that happens not to be the case. Spambots can not just
sign up and send messages as we, the Audyssey moderators, have to
approve first time posts before they can be approved for unmoderated
posting. As it is the message that was sent apparently hijacked a
legit Audyssey member's address rather than hijacking the list. We
are still investigating, but the source was a valid Audyssey member
who has been a member for a long time without this sort of thing
before. We don't blame the Audyssey member in question, but do believe
a spambot or similar hijacked his address.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
I don't think the E-mail itself was a virus from the list, rather a
spambot
who registered and then sent the same mail to everyone's address it could
find.
the link in the mail may! however give a virus which is why I wrote the
alert.
Beware the grue!¬
Dark.
