John, What she means is that she got a virus from William Goodwin on another list. I also got one from his computer in response to one of my recent posts on this list. This action is entirely done by the virus and Mr Goodwin is likely completely unaware of it. As I indicated previously, to keep this virus from spreading all over the list, I am temporarily unsubscribing infected machines and had to do that with Mr Goodwins machine. Anyone that is interested in this subject should refer to the urls I gave yesterday which have much more info. Bob Fay.
