I've been glued to this and the related thread. I received virus affected
email last week and this week. I described the event for my local LUG (no
repost of addresses) and submitted it as OT - as a warning about what's
going around. I got flamed.
So, I agree, responding to and reposting spam should not happen. Live, get
flammed, learn, heal. But the flames may have gotten turned on anyway.
Maybe one should avoid all discussion of MS virii on Linux lists if getting
flamed. I will. When in Rome...
