I always hate people talking about nonvanagon content but I think this is worth presenting. Someone sent me a virus with a subject heading from the vanagon list. This was the topic about "spongy brakes" that made the rounds on the list. I do not believe that it was a list member who did it but somehow it has to be indirectly related to what goes on the list as it was an exact match for the subject heading from someone who could appear to be from the list but not gerry. The attachment which contained the virus had a .pif extenstion. I have yahoo mail and scan it and deleted it with the yahoo virus protection so it caused no problems. Only point I want to make is that just because it comes with a subject heading that developed from the vanagon list, don't assume that it is from the vanagon list. Look carefully at the file extenstions of any attachment. sorry to take this time, gary __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
