Hi Kent........Thank you for your concern and letter of explanation.� Yes......I am the "DL" you are referring to below.� I've never taken the time to read up on the Klez virus, so what you mentioned helps a lot.� I think you are probably right, and will share this with Laura and Glenn, whom have an interest in this too.
��� And......I hope you don't mind if I share it with the TruthTalk group as a whole.� BTW.....Why don't you subscribe to TT at.... http://innglory.org/discussions.htm ........so that you can become a regular contributor???� I'd love to have you join in on the discussions occasionally!
