Glad to be of some help. Why anyone would get a kick from sending viruses
to folks they don't know is beoynd my comprehension. I have the resources
of the University of Utah's excellent computer support staff to verify the
authenticity of virus problems befor I put the word out. That keeps me
from spreading bogus information and perpetuating hoxes. As for checking
to see who sent such, I always have "show all headers" turned on on my
machine, but there was nothing that gave any real information about the
origin of this virus containing email. I even had the guys from computer
support look to see if they could determine from where it came, but nada.
I suppose that if I was sending malicious stuff I would try to conceal my
idenity also, ya think??
I am still making models. I was thrilled by Glen's compliment that mine
were as nice as Ugo's, that is quite a compliment. Ugo's models set the
standard that I strive to equall. I have nearly completed the sculpting of
the Tom Thumb Special, and also the McBride and Moreau 'liner. These and a
couple of others will be ready for Speed Week. Currently avialable are
Danny Boy, EZ Hook, Burkdoll, Costella Special, and Ken Kloth's '49 Merc.
Looking forward to seeing Black Radon on the Salt in '01.

It's amazing what you can do if you don't know it can't be done.
