The reason WHA was so interested and knowedgeable about geology etc was that his brother JBA was a geologist (and mostly in India) to make life more interesting.

Thanks to Terence Cameron & Kathryn Vick for the warning.
I received one of this "g-zilla" mailing, with virus, "from" another
service,
though notfrom Mailbase. <stuart.messages.com> is a site for "message
mates," g-zilla appears to be one of them.
It appeared, then, that the mailing came not from the apparent server, but
is being masqueraded (a nasty habit of some virus-writers) - certainly the
fact that I havn't recieved this one through Mailbase supports this.
In my case, my e-mail address probably came out of someone else's incoming
mailbox, stripped from one of my own postings - so the mailserver virus
checker wouldn,t find it -it probably never passed through their hands!
In answer to Kathryn's question (not stupid - it's too important!).
Activation of an e-mail virus depends on the execution of the program. The
software you use to read your e-mails is critical, here.
The *latest* software will try to be helpful and run any downloaded program
code for you - you only need to open the e-mail and you COULD catch a cold
(check your settings, these things CAN be disabled!).
The older and less integrated mail readers (mine included) don't execute
code until requested.
Your policy should be: don't allow anything to be run until checked. If in
doubt, delete (you can easily contact the sender to resend any genuine
e-mails & attachments).
I trust everyone will have a pleasant Christmas, and a Peaceful New Year.
Paul Ellison,
