So why are you not abiding by your own rule and keeping your reply off list?
Simply reply to the gentleman off list and leave the rest of us out of your
discourse.  As the list admin you should lead by example.

But ok if you can take your reply to his discourse to the whole list I guess
I can reply to yours on list.  You've opened the door.

The exchange I had with K5DLE was off list. Which is where it should have
remained.

The original statement "after" I e-mailed the party aforementioned to ask
"if"
he had, or had not sent me an e-mail with a particular message in the
subject
field, was

You have a virus that has contaminated your system or somebody is using your
personal account information to send mail giving you credit for the virus.

Please notice the word "or". This is a situation of 'either/or'. Either it
came
from his computer 'or' it came from a different computer where his
information
was used to give the impression he was the sending party.

Frankly, I am totally fed up with subscribers who take private discourses
and
then send them to a list. There is only one reason to do this, an
intentional,
malicious and hateful way to cause trouble.

I do not know if K5DLE was guilty or innocent. I advised him of what I
received
and asked him to take steps to make sure his computer was clean. Something I
do
with anyone who sends me a virus. As stated, many times the sender does not
know
he/she is sending it out and many times it is another person using their
information to make it appear as if they are the sending party. Either way,
it
is simply good sense to check your computer to be sure it is clean.

Anybody who takes private mail of a personal or confidential nature and
posts it
to this, or any other list I administrate, is going to be removed. I do not
care
if it is to me or any other subscriber. it applies to everyone subscribed.
Private exchanges are just that, PRIVATE! Keep them that way.

If you want to play war games, then go find somewhere else more appropriate
to
play them. This is a list for hobby enthusiasts and when hobby turns to
hateful
or hurtful, you are out of here permanently. I hope that makes it very
clear.

Back to the topic: Heathkit.  Thank you for your indulgence and cooperation.
