Just a note about the dastardly SoBig (and just try running a list-serve during an outbreak; I deleted 400 messages Friday before they got to the list!): The address on the infected e-mail message IS NOT the address the virus came from - it takes a random address from infected computer's address books to cover its tracks. So whatever you do, DON'T compound the misery by sending a note (angry or otherwise) to the "originator" of the e-mail - he or she almost certainly didn't send it, and you're increasing the excess traffic due to this thing. That said, Mike's warning is well-placed. However, I'm fairly sure no infected e-mails came from Minneapolis Issues. David Brauer List manager TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
