Default I'm outta here!!!!!!!

Thanks to one of you idiots, most likely in Hong Kong, I can not use my e-mail. Every time I log on, I get dozens of mailer-daemon replies for messages that supposedly originate on my computer. And all the bogus attachments along with it.

Whoever you are, you have the W32.Sobig.F@mm virus on your computer. Clean it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since DIY is the only place that I use that account, I will not return until the idiot responsible fixes their computer.

As for everyone else:

Since using my e-mail is such a major pain, I will not be able to reply to anything until this matter is resolved. So, be patient, I will get back to all of you.......eventually.

In the meantime........find the idiot repsonsible.

Default Throw away accounts...

Jocko,

If you only use it for the forum, why not just get a new free webmail account?

BTW how did you track it to HK?

Cheers,

Probably by the ip. It's very amusing but computer illiteracy seems extremely common even among the most sophisticated audio builders. At least i know a bunch who would rather listen to a push-pull amp than sit behind a pc Sorry, it's a SET joke.

Could it be that these problems arose as some HTML features were restored on this site. I noticed that the quote functionality reverted to the HTML format a few days ago. My recollection is that this was disabled as it caused consternation for of users.

Hi Jocko,
Wasn't a rather fat 18 year old US citizen arrested for spreading a virus?.

OK guys/gals stop sending those viruses to Jocko!
Jocko, you don't have a virusscanner on your computer?. Nowdays you can't go without it.
