This is important to all listers:
Please do not attach files to your posts.
This is - - - IMPERATIVE - - -
especially with regards to excel files (.xls)
and other executables. (.exe, .pif, etc.)
If someone's excel file is unwittingly virus or worm infected,
the link in our archives to that file will _directly_ open
the virus infected file right from our server, infecting
anyone who opens the file. Some virus software may not
catch it because you bypass normal download
procedure and directly open the file when
you click on the link.
Instead, tell listers that you have a file and that you are
willing to send it to interested parties directly. This will
go a long way to staunching the spread
of virus and worm attacks.
Sincerely,
Chris
