Note to WiMilwau list owner Bob Fay especially-- Over the past several months, Bob, I've candidly had increasing difficulty making head or tail out of many of your public and private e-mails. Some have been valuable and also very funny (i.e., "ha-ha")-- while others have been very obscure. And several of your responses to me have seemed to bear no clear relationship to my stated concerns-- and I thus mostly stopped sending you any on-list or off-list notes. Your posting below also ALARMS me. I'm a Senior Citizen with a limited knowledge of jargon, including computer jargon. PLEASE use less of this in your postings and other e-mail. A bit more info on Badtrans would also be helpful to me and probably others. And what does "Virus Warning was the pif attachment" mean? And what does "unsub" mean? And, if I've been "unsubscribed," I would have appreciated a preliminary warning to me on this in an off-list e-mail. I'm now sending this note to you publicly (as well as privately) partly because your posting below oddly instructs me to do so and partly to see if, without any private warning from you or RootsWeb, I've already been excommunicated from the WiMilwau list. Let's ALL be careful .........John _____________________________________________________ << Subj: [WiMilwau] Virus Warning was the pif attachment Date: 11/27/01 8:43:02 AM Central Standard Time From: madgrad77@clsurf.com (Robert W Fay) Reply-to: WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com To: WIMILWAU-L@rootsweb.com Hi folks, There is a new virus going around....it is similar to the Badtrans virus from last spring. They are calling it Badtrans B. McAfee recommends that you get the latest update to your antivirus software. I hate to unsub people but I guess with the way this virus works (replies to list posts) I am going to have to until they get their machines cleaned. Be careful, Bob Fay >> ____________________________________________________
