I am truly sorry that all of us are getting many replications of the bear
story sent Monday. Still not sure exactly what happened.
Somehow, when I inserted photos into the page (after having resized them)
the page actually ended up with two copies of each photo - one the intended
size and then a copy of each of the same photos again in their original
giant size in the background somehow. If you want to see what that looks
like, open the Bristol Birds Archives and scroll to the bottom of one of the
many messages. You will see two copies of each pic with one the proper size
and the other enormous.
My computer timed out when the message was sent to each list. Yahoo refused
it because of the enormous size of the background photos which were not
visible in the document. My computer kept attempting to resend the message
in the background. I could detect it was sending a message but could not
find anything in the draft, out or sent box. Each time it was timing out so
there was nothing to tell it to stop spending.
I received a call from my daughter reporting it had sent her 20 copies of
the same message.
Amazingly, I searched for a long time to find a copy of the message anywhere
on my computer. There was no copy visible in the Draft folder, Out box
folder, Sent message folder or anywhere else I knew to look. Even though I
sent the message before noon yesterday, it was not until about 7 p.m. that I
received my first copy from the listserve - it came from Bristol Birds Net.
About 2 p.m. I found a copy of the message in my Outbox and killed it.
That wiped every known message off my machine.
Twice yesterday I ran a full computer virus scan to attempt to detect what
may have caused the problem. Nothing was found either time.
I hope it has finally stopped.
Sorry for all the problems.
