So is what you are saying is that if we do not have a masters degree in
computer science and everything, we should not be posting here. Some of
these viruses that I have read about have shown up on my E-mail and I have
immediately deleted them. I did not test them to find out if they were the
real thing. No everyone is as computer literate as some so mistakes are
going to be make. As the Christians that we are supposed to be, we should
be forgiving them not criticizing them. Of course this is one of the
biggest problems in our churches today. We can forgive the sinner but not
the fellow brother in the lord. One of these days it may just be true.
