[NTLUG:Discuss] any body still have the "Loveletter" vbs file?

[LinuxGrl]

Will, 
Even though you start with don't talk about this anymore... you end with "feel free to comment... so I will... 

First of all,  excuse me for trying to help someone with a computer problem... If I am gonna be criticized and degraded for responding to emails asking for information and/or help, then I won't answer another post to this list... Seems a shame that some Linux users can be so unhelpful and so unfriendly and give a bad opinion of a whole group just by their attitude.
 
and I am NOT embarrassed by checking NTLUG messages using windows at work... I'd rather check them at work while the topics are current than have to read thru a hundred emails when I get home...
 
and just for your information... 1. you don't "catch" this virus from strangers... you catch it from people you know... people that have you on their address book... 

Seems like maybe we should use this incident in order to promote Linux instead of turning people against us by saying rude things about Windows users... 

Just my opinion....

  What's the deal?  Is this amateur night?  Let's move on to linux discussions.  Linux is not affected by the "love bug".  Anyone that checks ntlug messages with exchange should be embarrased if they catch the virus.  I have to admit to being an NT user at work, but I wouldn't cry about catching the virus in this particular forum.
   
  Here's my 2 cents: 
  1.  Don't execute attachments that are not pgp/gpg signed by people you trust and are expected.
  2.  Don't use an email reader that autoexecutes anything associated with incoming mail (I don't mean turn autoexecute off either)

  Later,
   
  Will
   
  p.s. feel free to comment :)
