Wowah....sheesh...some folks need to chill out some....PEACE! Hey-as...only reason I am even adding my rusty pennies to this thread is cause of some similarities....a small time ago I started getting a heap load of viruses sent to me....one after another...I didn't know what fuckin' hit me...weird messages....always had a virus attached...fortunatly I have a very secure virus scan that intercepted each and every one and quaranteened it so's I could delete it after....just set up that way...;-) I was pissed....really pissed....mainly because this just wouldn't STOP!! I was so mad I had my isp trace it down and yeah....you know...it came from someone that belongs to the community. First instinct....post a big friggen message!!....WARN others....slay, destroy, how dare someone fuck around with my computer like this!! Well....hindsite told me to ponder another option...I messaged Audrie...Audrie has a sensible head and she gave me a very sensible answer...I followed through and it turned out that this person did not only not even KNOW, but it was actually a friend of a friends server, (something like that, not sure now), that was going all funky and sending out this virus not only to me, but possibly even others...who knows...who cares....no harm done really...but....maybe there might have been had I jumped on my hormones and posted my first instincts here. caleb68...I "do" understand your intent...I felt it myself...but on the other hand "maybe" it may have been wise to just wait a tad more till Sharen did get back to you...something like this could "innocently" blow into quite a fiasco...I mean....look at what's already happened here just from the fallout. You don't really need to defend yourself...or apologize...you meant well...but Sharen deserves the respect of letting this die now because in all actuality this don't seem like something she had anything to do with...and she has tried to be most gracious and helpful and concerning. SOMEONE ELSE may have been really pissed about this thread....it has worked out...why squabble with ruffled side effects, I don't think anyone needs that....huh..? Stay cool,....beautiful days... -Me
