If this person is this avid CCC reader as you say, why haven't they ever posted here? Why haven't they responded to any posts and tried to explain themselves and clear their name? Why didn't this person respond to my email? Sure, if everything you said goes right, it's possible. >I would be extremely surprised if the person you reported is the instigator of >this virus. I think you have jumped the gun here, dare I say as usual. I fail to see how me reporting a virus attack is "jumping the gun." If it wasn't originated from this person, then attbi.com will have zero problem seeing that. If there is some person dressed in dark clothing walking around outside your house in the middle of the night, do you not call the police and let them look into the situation and let the proper authorities determine guilt or innocence? It was my opinion that this was intentional, but that doesn't make someone guilty, and there's nothing wrong with notifying the proper authorities and letting them handle it. I saw no reason for Sarah to reply to me with the attitude that she did, since I handled the situation properly IMO. >Just maybe, you are the one who doesn't quite know what is going on. That's possible. Wouldn't be the first time. >Things are not always quite so trivial and obvious as you seem to imagine.

Next time someone makes fun of you for calling the police when you suspect your property has been attacked, just put your tail between your legs and go cry in the corner ok? If Sarah can't handle a little firey reply, she shouldn't have initiated the negative attitude. Russell
