I sure am getting a lot of strange emails "from you" lately. The
addy that comes with the mail is: [email hidden]. It has
(unknown) a virus attached.

Got two this morning....two yesterday... one the day before....

Anything to do with you other than you name? paradigmhosting.com?
As I write this it seems to have happened before....

Man, I opened one of those .vbs things once, and it ate all the pics (gifs,
bmps, etc.) on my 'puter. Even all my icons turned into little placard
thingies.

He doesn't use that old email address anymore. It sounds like some
lifeless hacker is just having their jollies.

BTW Darsh, getting the snowbike out yet?

Oh well. I just wondered. I guess if he doesn't care, then I certainly
don't. His symantec link is sort of funny to me I guess.

It is out! Making some new axles tomorrow for a fresh season. This should
be a big, big year. Just gotta start slow and stay healthy. Maybe I will
put a pic up after I get the axles done...

Snowing here now!

Read the link again.

It explains how the virus works.

In short, someone has an infected machine with my
old email address in their address book, or a web
page cache.

The virus uses those addresses to spoof, and cause
confusion.

Apparently it succeeded.

I suppose Pete. I just thought it was funny that I started getting them
again after several years. Hence the humor in it all, but nevermind. The
humor was lost. Anyway, it is not my name going to random and not-so-random
mailboxes.
