Well, I received the virus from *you* via CTRL.

Why should anyone respond to the person who sent the virus to the list?
What you did was inexcusable and appalling. I sincerely hope it was from
lack of knowledge and not malicious and I sincerely hope you didn't
infect anyone's computer. However, since I don't know what your motives
were - I can only take your word that you didn't know how reckless your
behaviour was - take this piece of advice. Never open a file that you
don't know where it came from and who the sender is. Just delete it.
And Kris, I'm surprised that listserv.AOL allows such attachments as
exe. files. Have you ever considered using Yahoogroups? As list owner,
you could set the list to screen out any attachments. This can be a
little frustrating as you must copy and paste anything you want to
forward to the list. On the other hand, there doesn't appear to be a
length restriction to articles. In addition, there is a shared files
area where people can post pictures, music, movies, audio etc. and then
individual list members can decide whether they want to look at those
files or not. That way, the whole list doesn't get spammed with a virus
the way Saba did here.
> Again sorry.
What you did Saba was like wondering if you had a sexually transmitted
disease and then going out and sleeping with 300 people to see if anyone
got sick. It's your responsibility to educate yourself on computer
viruses to protect yourself and others. However, we are all human and
do make mistakes so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
