Hi Sterling and list, I to received six copies of Steve's email. I can assure you, I don't have a virus and if we did, wouldn't I get six emails from others as well? It must be a glitch somewhere if some got six and others did not. : ) Thanks, Tom peregrineflier - Original Message - From: Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] STEVE'S ADS -- ONLY ONE
Hi everyone, I checked the list archives, the archives received six copies from Steve or his server so we all should have got six copies. I am just posting this so you all don't panic thinking you have a virus, you probably do, but it was not behind your getting six messages! : ) Thanks, Tom peregrineflier - Original Message - From: Michael Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] STEVE'S ADS -- ONLY ONE
Hi, All I don't doubt that those who received six, did so. I only know that if a source sends six copies of a given message to a distribution list, that all members of that list should receive six copies if they receive anything at all. QED. Mail-multiple viruses create multiple (infested) copies that they may send right away, or sit on for weeks. I frequently receive an old email, one I already received weeks or months ago. I can't tell you what's in them because they've been burned clean by the time I get them. Once in a while, I get a why did you send this to me? message from a list member because they have had the same experience with one of my List messages. Naturally, the virus wants there to be six copies of itself in the MetList archives; wouldn't you, if you were a virus? The MetList is a prime target for a mail virus, being much referenced. The virus doesn't have to be IN this or that specific computer, just be able to inject itself somewhere in the process of message transfer and go to work from that initial point in order to spread. It may have been cleaned out of the initial point of entry by now; doesn't matter. As for I can assure you I don't have a virus, Dream On. The best you can hope for is a Quick Kill once it gets in. The biological analogy is apt. You kill the germs that enter your person, but you can't prevent entry without freeze-drying your body and sealing it in a vacuum! A sterile one. Q: What percentage of the living cells in your body are YOUR cells, and what percentage are members of a species other than H. sapiens you? A: Nearly 95% of the living cells in your body are NOT you. Fortunately, your 5% outweighs the aliens and you are killing them as fast as you can. So all is well. I can assure you I don't have any germs... Guess again, but don't turn into Howard Hughes.

Re: [meteorite-list] STEVE'S ADS -- ONLY ONE
Hi, I've just a slew of on and off List messages from everybody who got six copies. Yes, yes, many did, but that PROBABLY means that when the original uninfected message (one copy) got sent to by the List server to a member -- any one -- whose computer is infected with this virus, the virus sent five copies of itself back (including source header) with itself in it, so now there's six copies on the List... and so forth. Don't want to spend a lot of time on virus strategies -- they are many, complex, tricky -- kill'em now, autopsy'em later. If you want to blame Steve, your business, or pleasure, as the case may be. (See time sequence below.) I was just contributing data. Not everybody got six copies. I got a copy of #1 and nothing else. Now, since every email I get goes through FIVE virus checks before I get to know of its existence, #2 through #6 may have simply been destroyed outright, gunned down at the border and then the corpse burned to nothing. Some of my programs are a trifle unsympathetic in their attitudes, OK? I feel just terrible about it... If there were six copies went to everybody, well, I'd destroy them (not delete them) from your computer if I were you. I think the time lags in the message times are the result of the virus taking 30 minutes and 48 second to get the original (and harmless or not) message from Steve, infect it from an infected host computer and send a copy of itself back to the List server, 52 seconds to receive it back and do it again... Hopefully, the List server killed the virus code, removed it, preserving the text, each and every time it arrived, and no one got an infected message at all. That's how it should have happened. I wonder about the sad fate (possibly just, though) of messages #2 through #6 that I never got. The unmarked graves, no paper trail or records, MIA, the disappeared ones, as they say in Argentina. I'd get rid of it, anyway. I sure did.
