Chuck, Please check the headers on the emails that you received. You will find that the emails supposedly from me and the ones from Dave Kruger did not originate on our computers. There are several worms and other vir*s out there that "spoof" email addresses. In other words, if you are infected, before sending themselves out, they will pick a return address from your Netscape, Outlook, or Outlook Express address book and show that as the return address. The emails saying they were from me actually came from an ISP that is in New Zealand. Last time I checked, that is not a suburb of Southern California where I live. It's a good idea to check your emails with updated antivirus software, but let's be careful who we are blaming in print, when that may not be accurate.
