Well I am always careful with what comes with this list. Pretty much anything
that has come so far hasn't been "spring loaded". But if one is a "duh, uh I just
click on anything in front of me..." I mean teenaged friends kind of think I am
being a snarly old dude because I want them to label their cute little multiattachment
letters of kitty cat pictures with something. I do worry about that problem...target
something at a community, make it look like standard stuff that gets passed around
in that community and that would be a good way tp start spreading stuff.

Odd; it didn't seem to work on any of my *BSD boxes.  XV complains about
extraneous bytes and the quantizatiion (sic) table.

Oh well; it looks like we *BSD users are safe from this one :-)



Hmmm... Not a bad night's fishing. Two personal replies in my mailbox, from a couple of lusers who obviously missed the difference between the above declaration "will then infect your machine" with the obvious correction of "will then infect your WINDOZE machine."
