Only one virus in the whole time. And that was on my amiga back in 89 or
so.

Had a strange e-mail and then telephone conversation today. I got an
e-mail at my work address from a Guzzi rider in Virginia telling me that
my system was infected and it sent him a virus. Both he and I have
top-notch virus protection systems. His name was vaguely familiar so I
tracked him down and telephoned. The message I ostensibly sent was
unfamiliar. The message ostensibly came from my 'work' address.
Since both of us are well protected, we surmise that someone else's
system (maybe even Topica?) sent out the infected message and somehow
substituted my address as the sender (he also received another similar
from another Guzzi writer).
My work address is registered with Topica, but I do NOT use it for
regular Guzzi mail. I limit myself to this personal AOL account for
Guzzi mail and have only used the Topica link on rare occasion when
there was some account screwup at AOL.
The only other person I know that has both of my addresses is Tim Crump.
So, someone out there is unknowingly propagating a virus (not
necessarily Tim BTW). No idea how to trace it. Glad I have protection
software. Also glad that Guzzi people recognize each others REAL names
and have the courtesy to track each other down.
