October 29, 2009: I just discovered that my email accounts have been hijacked by a virus...
If anyone gets any emails from me, please delete them. Do not open them. (They will not have been sent by me.)
If my email is hijacked, then possibly my forum accounts and my blog may be also... I am not sure oif this but to be safe, I thought I'd notify everyone of this possibility. If you visit my site, make sure you are running a good antivirus program that is uptodate. I am currently working with blogspot, etc. etc. on this.
pssst... Norton sucks a bag of lemons.

Some days I can get into trouble all by myself.
