I sympathize, MaryAnn! <grin> I've been in touch with Larry about this and it does appear to be, 1) not intentional on his part, 2) a relatively well-contained problem that should not cause us much problem long-term.
As near as I can interpret, his sister's computer got infected and the mal-ware managed to stick his address on an e-mail and spam it to, among others, the silver-list address. I got a private copy, too, if it's any consolation to y'all! <smile> If it gets severe, I'm sure Larry'll absent himself until things are better. If not, I'll be here to... ahem... help him do the right thing. List-owner, out! Peace, Mike D. > OK -- what am I missing? "Turned out that after a trouble shot and > rebuilt her computer" -- what?
