Dear All, someone seems to be sending out stupid and silly posts that appear
to be from me - and they are not!!! I know some of my posts might be a bit
cranky but they usually have a serious note - don't know what's going on but
someone needs some treatment for sure :-))

Best wishes, Joy

Hi Joy,

There are a number of computer viruses now which are able to "forge" the
sender's name, server name, etc. When someone's computer is infected with
one of these, the virus sends copies of itself to all the email addresses in
the address book stored in the email program of that computer, randomly
taking one or more of them and using them as the "From" address, to enhance
the possibility that someone (who hasn't got recent antivirus) will open the
email and have their computer infected.

So no one is picking on you, I don't think =;-)
