    If you find out who it is, tell us. We'll force him to have a conversation with GR.

    GR, translating what you say into English makes my head hurt. I think whoever did this to Mark desrves the same treatment.

    Oh, and why have you set yourself on fire? If it's some sort of homage to me, I'm deeply creeped-out by it.

    We got a message about it through the internal email here, not had it at home...or maybe my virus checker / firewall combo trashed it

    its possible it wasnt sent to you on purpose. the badtrans virus sends itself out to people on the addy book and in the inbox... I run a emailing list as part of my duties here and the past two days we have received 139 copies of it to the email address i send the email list from.

    I assumed it had been sent without the users knowledge.

    I know it was a VBWorld forums user because the address it was sent to is the one on my profile and I don't use that address anywhere else.

    Perhaps a bot somewhere picked it up off the pages...

    Unless they actually publicised the address it's unlikely.

    PS: you having fun on the M5 in the mornings, or do you manage to avoid that?
