Re: [APML] Attn "newborn" on APML

In August we discussed ad nauseum the pros and cons of mirroring APML on
Yahoo--one of the pro's discussed was that
one could see the e-mails on the web and choose to read them or not without
injesting virus laden ones onto their computer.
A number of people presently  here on APML complaining about receipt of viruses
vehemently  opposed mirroring--and the
continued 'waste of bandwidth' discussing it.

I have received absolutely NO viruses from APML. Nor from any of the 22 Yahoo
Groups I belong to.

Please take the discussion of the shortcomings of your particular virus
protection software and operating systems
to any of a thousand computer users groups and return to discussing
astrophotography here on this list.
