Re: [APML] Virus with APML subject recieved...

["Dave Schanz" <davesch@valleytranscription.com>]

Fellas,

I'm not sure if this is important to the process of rooting out the source of the virus or not, but I have been a lurker here for a couple of years being an AP wannabe some day.  I have never posted to the list, and do not have any of your personal emails in my address book, but I too got the virus from the list in an emal with Jeff Crilly's name and the "RE:  [APML] Question re efficient use of film vs quality" subject line.     

I got the email on 7/1, the day after I started reading about it on the list.  

Hope this helps at least some little bit.

Dave Schanz (who stands in awe of your abilities!)
