Hi all,

Recently, someone posted what was apparently a "test messge" with a two letter username. I posted a sarcastic response to it that it looked like a test spam.

I can't now find the post, so I assume that Nick deleted it.

Anyway, when I posted my "reply", I disguised my email as kayak@boatbuilding.CALM and apparently this spammer has now used this pseudo email to send a malicious message to some others on this BBS. Malcolm was one of the folks who received it.

So, if you get a message with the subject: "A very powerful tool", don't open it, it's probably a virus, and it's not from me!

Shawn
