Dave- I've got a hotmail account so I can stay in the loop at work, or wherever I happen to be, and an outlook address at home. I only received this message at my hotmail address, which struck me as odd. There have been some weird email viruses sending themselves all over lately, and people on the list know what I mean. Your email contained no message, odd fact #2. I didn't get any virus warning, and here at work we have nearly government standards on our computer security. That doesn't mean there isn't one though, because as you know you must keep updating your software to keep up. Also, I guess you didn't notice that I didn't send you that email and cc: the list, I only sent it to you. Since you've involved the list, I feel like I need to explain.Besides the fact that this email conversation isn't about meteorites and is a violation of list policy. Anyway, I felt it was the responsible thing to do, that is send an email to find out what the deal with the weird phantom email was. Please check your sent messages to see what went wrong. Sorry to those folks on the list who are interested in real meteorite conversation. The point here is: If you get an odd email, please send the sender of said email a note and ask if they know about said email. If they don't then you may be able to stop a virus before it spreads past your own system. I am not accusing anyone of anything, just looking out for the best interest of my own system, and the systems of others in my address book, which by the way includes everyone on the list. Again, sorry for the long email, but it certainly is an important topic. No disrespect meant, If you say it was an accident I'll have to believe you. -Edward
