All, This list seems to forward a large number of virus. I belong to ~10 lists and have never had a virus forwarded through the other lists. Several weeks ago I sent an email to the acm.org site manager suggesting that they put filters on the mailing list. He said they would _consider_ the idea. The Snow-white virus seems to get circulated on this list every month or so. I don't use Microsoft's Virus Transmission System (Windows) so it is only an anoyance to me... With all the internet worms going around I suggest we push to have a filter placed on this list that will at the minimum filter the known virus (Snow-white has been around for many months!). It amazes me that the professional organization that represents software developers is forwarding virus on a mailing list. -- | |Robin Reagan - Ada Software Engineer.
