Dear Patty (and others),

Maybe a little alarmist, but what would your reaction be when you receive a
message from someone you don't know, and the moment you click on it, your
computer jams 100% (can't even "ctrl-alt-delete") and the only thing left
to do is shut the power down, restart it and find out that at least one
program has been damaged?

Furthermore, at this moment virusses are being developed which are no
longer in need of being attached to an e-mail.
And weirdo's can hide themselves behind quite a number of aliasses, and
Lubosh could have been such an alias.
My only intention was to prevent others from this list to get infected
(i.e. their computers) by a nasty virus.
And the next time such a thing happens, I will react in the same way.
Prevention is better than cure.

Gijs
