Re: [Users] It is not funny anymore: VIRUS / WORMS over this list

This is truly disturbing - it is at the point that most of the messages
on this list are virus notifications. Is it time to abandon this ground
and start a new mailing list? If not, I think I'm going to have to bail
out for a while. With the pressure to get this project done, I can't
spend the time sorting through what mail is someone legitimately in need
and what is garbage. Just a thought - John
