Dear All
New rule for XRV list should be NO ATTACHMENTS. Alright, the Happy99.Exe
file was so-called harmless, and the 'hero of the hour' Phil Herzog both
raised the alarm and effected a cure - so no real harm done. What if
we're not so lucky next time?
It would have been more of a joke if the file in question had been
interesting / funny / topical / filthy but no, it was complete and utter
rubbish and pointless.
We are a small community of biker friends using a medium inhabited by
geeks, morons, criminals and some really nasty types! lets not make it
easy for them to pollute our machines, wreck our hard drives or whatever
just for the sake of seeing some dozy 'fireworks'
No doubt this will start a huge 'freedom of expression' row, but I don't
care and neither should you.
