Re: [ga] Got a virus, Ken?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leah and all former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

  I agree Leah that some folks are getting bit by this virus.  However it
is not an all that new of a virus.  Ken should have taken preemptive
steps with a good virus protection product to provide adequate
if not more than adequate protection to prevent being duped, as
it seems you should have.  He didn't.  As a person whom holds
himself out as a leader, he showed or is showing very poor
judgment IF he was indeed duped, possibility we do not know
to be true..  Surely Digital.net, a Ken Stubbs stays current
on viruses? See Digital's history link:
