As a follow up to this. "The Register", the web site that apparently had
the original story, has now received an email from Mr. Taylor asking
them to stop all the emails that he has been getting from people about
this story.

<quote from the site, attributed to Mr. Taylor>
I do not follow instructions that show up when a website that I am not
familiar with appears on my computer and I do not think anyone with
experience would do so either. Once the Centos site appeared on four
computers at one site I contacted our web service provider. The web
service provider did not know what could cause the problem and had never
heard of "CentOS". I then contacted the internet provider's local office
and was told that they did nothing to cause the problem. I checked the
building's server and found nothing relating to CentOS on the server. I
was then left with only the web page email address to contact. I asked
for the strange website to be removed because it blocked my City web
site and I could not post public information. I only got help after
threatening to contact the FBI.

Now I am being flooded with emails from CentOS users that after knowing
the answer say the problem was simple. I think this is unjustified and
would like for this to stop. Your website should provide useful
information and be a credit to the IT world. I do not believe it should
be used to incite the users. Your attention to this matter is greatly
appreciated.
