| | | | | <snip> The thing that pisses me of is the subject keeps changing every so often so an email rule only lasts so long. Maybe it really is a patch and it will make my PC work even better. ;-) Does anybody know what virus is in these emails? I just keep (...) (21 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

When I set up a new personal site at a new domain later this year, I won't publish the email at all on the web. Instead, I'll set up a contact form on the site (...)
