WARNING - DON'T OPEN 'OSAMA FOUND HANGED'-IT'S A VIRUS!

Don't open the posting - I did and it screwed my PC.


When someone has been in a newsgroup for some time and they usually put [OT] in the header if the item is not relevant to the newsgroup, having understood some of the guidelines.

Another clue would be that they have no reason to put a four digit number at the end of the subject line, which is a symptom of some mass posting software.

Hope you get the machine working, as reinstalling everything is a nightmare going on over a couple of days in some instances!

And now they have a new one - about Ah-nold....

FWIW A lot of this garbage seems to be posted from the site "Harvard.edu". Says something about higher education in this country today, doesn't it?

Have you notice that the senders addresses have a @columbia.edu in the Ah-nold e-mailing and @columbia.edu or @harvard.edu in the Osama e-mailing. Looks like the Cheetos eating, inflamed orange dick heads are using the College lab computers (or routing through them) to send out their mass e-mailing.
