i guess i was too quick to jump to the conclusion about it being a lurker, but this is the first time i've been sent a virus to any of the e-mail addresses i use in forums and newsgroups -- and it was sent within a few hours of opening the new account. i don't actually think a lurker here programmed the virus -- it's a common one that's been out for awhile -- i just figured they forwarded it to me. thanks for letting me know about the e-mail grabber-scanner program. i knew these type of programs existed for getting addresses off of newsgroups... i didn't think the same goes for web pages. that'll learn me! :) btw, thanks for your "love of Christ" post from a couple days ago. we need these reminders.
