Hey you too. I appreciate the discussion on viruses because it affects many
on this vanagon list. Let's not become censors. I've been infected
(attempted) several times in the past few weeks and most likely due to
participation on this list.

I think advising the not so adept to get Norton anti virus and to become
more aware is good for this list. If we learn how to protect ourselves then
we can make better use of this list.

HERE'S A PLUG FOR VANAGAIN (for obligatory vanagon content.) MORE FREE
