"Roger Felts" <rfelts "at" gte.net> voices the following indignation:

>1.  It is unlikely Rolf * knew * that he was infected, and did this on
>purpose.

>2.  Unlike you, who deliberately sent a terribly professional, well =
thought
>out and witty message (and what a turn of phrase!)
=20
>The adult thing to do would be to send another message to the list,
>apologizing for your behaviour like Rolf did.


Humm, OK, I'll consider your proposal..as I haven't seen Rolf's letter
but why was he sending an .exe file to the list anyway? How is it he's
not aware of that? When I send an e-mail with an attachment, I know it,
and I know what's in it..

Since my Virus software deleted this sterling application before I could
see it..how am I supposed to know he was only sending a waving flag or
some tedious fireworks display.

You mean anyone can send a virus to the list and just sign his name to
it and even though lots of people now have the worm in their hard drive,
he can just say he was sorry, and plead ignorance?

This sounds like some new diabolical attack to me..Ok, following that
line of thought, I will apologize to the list for attacking the
character of poor Rolf and wishing him harm..and would advise anyone
that sends a virus knowing or unknowingly..may receive less than a
cheerful response from me, whether it was intended or not..When I point
a gun at you and pull the trigger, and it fires, I will then say sorry!
didn't know the gun was loaded..

>3.  Of the two, I would prefer * you * be removed.  That is, if the list
>were moderated, which it isn't (as evidenced by your message getting
>through...)

Well, tsk tsk..delicate sensibilities trodden on here..for your
information there is a sort of Bot moderation..I couldn't get the flame
through until I put those nifty asterisks into the adjectives I choose
to describe the harmless Rolf. Humm. stop press!  My original message
did get through..good. That bot has a mind of it's own.

>The adult thing to do..

Ho. ho...the adult thing..what would that be? Selecting bomb sites for
Yugoslavia? Do please post a treatise.
