In defense of Grant, he had the dubious distinction of being the first
person nailed
by bugbear, on paddlewise.  He got the virus on the day it was
discovered. It's possible
he got nailed before the definitions against it came out....

Grant's diligence against virii is admirable - he just got nailed
early.  

This _should_ be the last post on this topic.
