[1000mp] VIRUS

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 14:54:02 -0600

      My apologies for "chewing up reflector bandwidth". I mistakenly
thought maybe it was worth putting out an alert on this. At the time I
didn't realize that everyone on the reflector was already aware of this.
My intention wasn't to accuse the reflector of anything. Now that I know
how critical bandwidth is I'll refrain from anymore outbursts like that.
