Sorry 'bout that...just got impatient 'cause I was afraid the dwarves would come back and snatch it.

I thought that was his home system, though. Maybe he's out standing in his field again today.

Can we find a couple insane freepers who want to try?

I'll check it out. With our rehearsal schedule, I'm not sure November is the time to try. But I just might...

Good morning! You're late...I had to stoop to sneaking, 'cause there were no dwarves (or men of Gondor) around.

Whatever you do, don't turn off your system until you cleanse it first!

Okay, so after I posted my message last night, I did a google search for Klez and got the Norton site. I ran their "fixklex" program. But would that not work since I have McAfee? Or does it make a difference?

The Norton program ran and said "klez was not found on your site."

I haven't read through all the posts yet, but I saw someone (I think Rosie) ask how I knew I had "klez."

I periodically have been getting back "message-not delivered" emails for emails I never sent. That's when I installed McAffee a couple of weeks ago.

A friend who is also on the pool Board has gotten some weird messages from "me." I've also received from "him" a couple of times an email that said "look at my new game" with an attachment (which I knew not to open). But he didn't send it. We're on the same cable provider (Comcast). He says Comcast has told him it's not in their system. But I heard Glenn Beck say recently that "Comcast is the Anti-Christ" and I'm inclined to agree. (It's bad enough that some days I actually miss AOL).

Last night I got an email back from the County school website. I have not emailed them, but I went to their site Tuesday night trying to find Corin Jrs' home work assignments (they used to post the math textbook online). The email says that "we did not open your email to us because we detected klez."

Right after I got that was when I posted the email to Bear.

If klez was not found on your system, I'd say you don't have it. Remember what we said earlier about address spoofing? Some versions of klez do the same thing.

To sheep other sheep no doubt appear different...

Liberal left wing elves are the true racists...

(My guess is Gloin is second from the right, next to Gimli.)

Truthfully, I don't know if I have anything 50,000 words long in my mind right now!

I think in the religion wars I may have posts that are that long...

I'm gonna check it out Jen.

We should help them pack.

As g'nad noted yesterday, they travel "light."

Since Corin isn't here...

Must I be blamed for everything? (whine, whine, whine)

I probably should have said Corin and ksen...and he's been worse than you lately when it comes to spamming, I think. ;-) (RWRF, too!)

Is there a way to stop that?

Short of not having an e-mail address? Not really. If you use your e-mail address at all, SOMEone will have it in their address book, guaranteed. And that means a virus on their system can send in your name.

In an ideal world, everyone you communicate with via e-mail would have the latest antivirus software running on their system, but that's not the case (unfortunately).

So, someone with the virus, who has my email address, can send an email in my name and spread the virus...correct?

Is there a way to track that down and let folks know?

Dude! That massive frontal assault machinegun spam was heinous, shameless, presumptuous and just plain wrong...

Thanks! Ain't they purty? Look how they catch the morning light.... They were worth the effort, weren't they? More treasure for the Dwarf Lords!

OT, I know you are a hobbit, but I included you on this because of your impeccable elf-bashing. You are considered a great Friend of Dwarves.... thus you too may have a share of the treasure....
