SA> Yeah. Its all he said she said kinda thing.
yeah, definitely a "kinda" thing ;)
SA> Folks can be easilly duped into having their ISP or
SA> network or email address used in sending spam or virii.
and that doesn't even involve any folks getting involved other than the virus
writers and spammers... especially since they simply gather the addresses from
files on an infected user's machine...
i've had my address used in the past and do get spam from self to self... i
won't even mention the times that i've had folk complain to me about the spam
"i" sent them... that's lasts about as long as it takes me to (gently (at
times)) correct them and point them to educational resources where they can
learn about the real world instead of them remaining ignorant in their
imaginary world ;)
