Lawmaker Accidentally Catches Legislature In Porn Virus Web
Law Vegas Review-Journal

Communication at the Legislature has come a long way from 20 years ago
when lanky powerhouse lobbyist Jim Joyce would wave his tie as a signal
to other lobbyists to rescue him from an unwanted conversation  But now
e-mail is the communication of choice. Got a laptop? Sit in a hearing
and e-mail the legislators on the committee during the testimony.  Anyone
can do it, but it only works with lawmakers who are computer savvy and
check their e-mails, like Assemblyman Dennis Nolan, R-Las Vegas. Nolan
opened a porn virus which shut down the Legislature's e-mail Wednesday
and Thursday. He opened the e-mail, thinking it was from an engineering
associate, but it was a virus that sent X-rated pictures to all the
people on his address book -- including fellow lawmakers.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
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-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
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.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
