So it would seem we're both in the wrong, or not... my point was that I
hadn't posted the virus, and nor did I intend to... I admit fault in that
I thought JRO had posted the virus to the ng.  However I'm not happy that
JRO, at time of writing, has not apologies for assuming the same.  If JRO
had done as you suggest I do, then they would know that I can't, for
certain, have been the original sender..

I am a semi-lurker... I attempted to do an ascii as far back as
December... mainly 'cause I'm terrible at getting things from brain onto
screen :-(

I'm not sure... DejaNews is/wasn't able to show may indication of how to
do it... however, i've still got the messages that I managed to extract
from tin..

I'm posting this to the ng, mainly 'sos they know I apologised.
