I'm being subjected to a DOS attack...

Well, the title might be a bit dramatic, and I imagine it's happening to others as well, but in the last 48 hours, my yahoo mailbox has been filling every 2 hours with 'Would you like to install this Microsoft Patch (a.k.a a virus)' mails. They are about 150K each, and within 2 hours, my mailbox is full.

I've had a few before now, but nothing like this sustained onslaught.

Basically, if you are trying to reach me, please try aldeburgh<removemebecauseI'mnotwanted>@optusnet.com.au at least for a few days (I don't check it often usually).

I feel the death of howardjr2000_at_yahoo.com.au coming on.

Come on guys: it can't be *that* hard to pass 212 pieces of legislation and make it illegal in every country on the face of the planet!

Regards, and in his Anderson shelter
