I was going to let this go but the more I thought about your remark I think
it deserves some critisism.

While I used to point out off topic posts that were clearly in violation of
the rules, I have not done so for some time. Now your telling me that I am
a "stupid bastard" for pointing out that posts about virus's are not allowed
on this list??? The rules (which every one of you got when you subsribed)
set down by Arthur, the owner and provider (at no cost to us) of this list,
are that any posts that are off topic, which specifically include talk about
virus's, is not allowed. So would you then say that Arthur is a double
stupid bastard for making the rule in the first place? Rationalise it all
you want but the fact is it's his list and he makes the rules.
Further, pointing out that a post or thread is off topic is not flaming.
If I were you, I would retract your statement about "stupid bastards".
later,
