Today I was inundated with 480 e-mail messages, most of which carried an attached virus. My e-mail system was totally shutdown. As a consequence, I was forced to delete all e-mail messages I received today. Which means if you sent me a report it is gone. I am sorry for this - if you have the energy please send it again. Hopefully this e-mail virus attack will run it's course today and I will again be able to access my e-mail. I believe this is a attack across the country, not just my web site/computer. How pathetic that someone thinks this is an acceptable thing to do. I hope they are caught and punished for ruining so many people's day and causing so much havoc. flog

It's because of the domain name that I get so much garbage. Can't do anything about it, just part of running a web site.

Your domain host should have a spam filter. If not, check out Interland.com for a reliable and affordable host. I use them and never have a problem. I also use an ISP that has spam filtering. Check out Isomedia.com for Dialup or DSL.
