Firstly, nobody on this list would deliberately send you a virus. Secondly, you are running Linux. It is very unlikely that you actually have a virus. It sounds as if you are talking about receiving spam email - unwanted email full of adverts. In which case you want to learn how to use a spam filter, like everybody else does. I receieve about 200 emails every day, but thanks to my spam filter I never have to read the ones with the adverts. Cool down, and don't accuse people unlesss you have proof.

Thanks for the Virus.
I just got my first spam of the year in my gmail inbox. My spam folder has over 350 emails in it. I don't know what they are using but it is pretty good.
I no longer bother with the email account from my ISP. Too big a hassle when I move and get another provider.

You may want to consider either replacing the valve with apt-get, or just rebuilding it with tar. Of course, you should check the input-output connectors and make sure that they are lubed and torqued to spec. > I forgive you, but you are misdirected. *Negative things have a way of > coming back at you. *I hope this doesn't happen to you, whoever you are, > because the come-around is pretty unforgiving. > I doubt that whatever is causing your system's trouble is the deliberate action of anyone on this list.

Sounds like you got on a spammer's list.* Someone already asked you, what proof do you have that it came from this list?* Please answer that. But some from the list have take it personal, like I am creating problems on purpose. I love the list and would never do anything like that.

I grieve that my post cause such anger. I guess I just don't know what to do when a problem persists and lots of people want to help. How's this for an idea:* maybe doing some analysis before you go off half-cocked like that? They even criticized the person who reviews the posts and implied that the ones who were unhappy were filtering my emails from their computers. What an absolutely evil thing to do, and for a bum rap. The list is my favorite website, and I may be 86ed for reason at all. If someone's filtering your posts from their own computers, then that's their right.* If true, then you got 86'ed from their computers, not this list.* Again, don't go blaming us without presenting some solid evidence. I wasn't even unkind in my response. I don't assume it was the author of the chastising email, I just thought it probably some young person who hadn't matured to realize that doing unkind things have there consequences. I was trying to help them, not spank them, even though that is what I think appropriate. This is akin to peeking in someone's bedroom window. It is an evil act that will have consequences for whomever did it. If I am misunderstanding, I apologize to everyone who reads this. I am not one to falsely accuse, but when it walks like a duck and looks like a duck and makes duck sounds, it is usually is a duck. And when it walks like an unfounded accusation and looks like an unfounded accusation and makes unfounded accusation sounds, it is usually an...unfounded accusation! Calm down, get a grip, and analyze your system, dude. --TP _______________________________ Do you GNU?
