There is a big button marked DEL in your PC pal and to the ignorant and
uninformed it means DELETE!!!
Generally the subject line of an E-mail tells you what the E-mail is about so if
you don't want to read it - hey that's cool mate so hit the DEL Button otherwise
keep your comments to yourself.
The rest of us are trying to protect ourselves by alerting the List to some
idiot trying to pass on Virus's whether in Ignorance Stupidity or Deliberately -
I frankly don't care which - all I'm interested in doing is getting these morons
off the List.

Cheers!!
