exposed myself ? when ? you accused me to spread worms and virus in
the net..wrong see google:

And they will see how you were the cause of people getting virus
sent to their email. This was because you, for some reason you
have not explained to this day, had their addresses on that system.

Are you sure the virus infected mails were from him (you know, by
verifying the received from IP, host and so on from the mail header)?

Of course as I have never posted here before, I don't know the history
of this problem, but I have seen similar things happen other places,
where the person accused of having an infected machine where in fact
not responsible at all. Many modern mass mailing worms have a SMTP
functionality built in, and will scan the hard drive for mail
addresses (address books and browser caches for example), and chose
one to spoof as the sender. This means that the person that gets all
the complaints is in fact not infected(a virus doesn't send itself to
this person, as that would be suspicious) and so it will take more
time to track the source of the mails. Even if the person that started
the thread was the originator, it doesn't mean he has added you to his
address list, as the virus could just as well have found the addresses
in a browser cache or something like that...

I my self have received several mails from mail systems warning me
that the mail I sent was infected, when I never have sent any mails to
them, never have had a virus infection.. Either someone that have my
address in their list must have had the virus, or someone who has been
on a site where my mail vas listed got infected, and the virus digged
the address from this persons cache... Anyway, its quite frustrating
being marked as a virus spreader, when one knows one is innocent of
this.

This is not an attempt to absolve the thread starter of the blame if
he is the guilty one... I just thought I would mention this
possibility, just to make sure it was taken in to account, If you have
taken this in to account, I apologize for bothering you...


Bob Officer would have to answer that question. He is the one who
was sent virus' from Pietro. I just like reminding our little kook
what a baby brat he was in going to the local police in Italy
and asking them to stop the mean ol' Bob from accusing him.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know
that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,"
and then they would actually change their minds and you
never hear that old view from them again. They really do it.
It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens
every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that
happened in politics or religion." "The method of science is
tried and true. It is not perfect, it's just the best we have.
And to abandon it, with its skeptical protocols, is the pathway
to a dark age."
