I posted the message for exactly the reasons in the original posting. Surely

I cannot be held responsible for the resulting furore? I can only speak for

myself, but I think there have been some rather intersting replies regarding

this issue.


I fully agree with the sentiment coming from both yourself and Sam, that its

time to move on to something else... Again may I thank all of you for the

advice. I must have been very lucky not to have encountered many of these

viruses before, as in the four or so years I have been using the net, this

may well be the first...


Hopefully this can mark the moving on...
