Hello family and friends My computer was infected with a virus, but Norton quarantined the mails before any damage was done. I've received mail - buckets of it - in the last two days and most of it came from some of you people, although most was via the SEQ Germans List. It really is amazing how the perpetrator knows my "Subject" line. For example I hadn't written to Walter for a couple of months and the darn thing came back at me Re: Re: How is your health now (or words to that effect). Almost all of the subject lines have the Re: Re: beginning. The attachment is ATT..(various numbers here)...... .txt (0 bytes). Any or all of those people listed in the To line have received attachments from me and wouldn't think twice about opening a .txt file. Well don't (PLEASE). Mike those two huge things you have received this morning are excel and paf - NO .txt files! Although the creature appears to be hitting the SEQ Germans Listers, it can't be going through rootsweb - attachments are not permitted. The person doing this has been collected our addresses for quite some time, by the look of it. Well I've spent another wasted couple of hours "doubly cleaning up" just to be sure. Let's all be happy (funny way to get your kicks!!) Cheers Bev
