At least on my news server messages that were posted late last night or
early this morning have strange responses seemingly posted by those who
either posted the original or a reply. They really look legitimate. All are
weird recipes like Vietnamese Offspring rolls. "Grab the neighbor's kid and
make it into an appetizer". I've checked other boards and seen the same
thing. I'm wondering if this is localized to one server or across the net.
Norton shows no virus, and on-line support at optonline didn't seem to have
an interest in this type pf problem. It's got to be a somewhat sophisticated
attack in that the "from lines" all indicate they're from the original
sender. Maybe some systems administrator's assistant who was left alone for
the first time..
