Catherine, that was also my take on it, but I wouldn't dismiss it just like that.
The people on the board were still worried about the threat. Some of them were still having problems with this long after the time. Many of them had to format their systems. It is widely thought, that Tyler Spy is behind it.He was recently barred from one of the mailing lists I am subscribed to for doing similar things.
As I say, there is probably nothing to worry about, but who really knows, Billy----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Turner" <catherineturner2007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
