Yeah, I know. I get these all the damned time--and it isn't all via
this web site. Some of it just flows into my e-mail directly, with no
"OSO" designation. It's supposedly from people like SR, or Mosk,
or others I don't recognize. They are empty, but have
attachments--and/or text similar to what you quoted.

I think you would have been getting them too, John, except that in
at least one place--until a few days ago--Lenny had your Syvox
address, rather than your hotmail one. So the worm has
presumably sent most or all of yours to the nonexistent account.

Fortunately, I have a Mac, so I'm not really vulnerable to Lenny's
virus/worm/whatever. But wouldn't it be nice if he fixed this, so we
wouldn't get all this crap any more?

By my accounting, this has been going on since 6/3 or so, when I
got my first virus spam from Lenny--both directly, and through the
web site. (The direct one purported to be from you.)

I think you would have noticed more of these, John, but I believe
Dean cleans them up as they show up on the site.
