It has been confirmed that someone forged my Yahoo e-mail address
and tried to sign me off.  That person is nearly 100% certain to be
Daniel L. Crawford who posted under the name of Robert Lung.

Actually, if I hadn't happened to have looked into the Yahoo email
account, I wouldn't even have known that someone forged my signoff
and by merely not confirming the signoff, I would have been able to
continue READING and POSTING from the LISTSERV webpage of Scuba-SE.

I also noticed that Yahoo automatically deleted the attachments
containing VIRUSES in the Yahoo emails -- which Daniel L. Crawford
undoubted have tried also.

Two more reasons NOT to use e-mail to read of post in newsgroups
and listserv lists!

I has also been confirmed that while the Plaxo webpage I clicked
didn't work, the e-mail reply update INFO I sent did get to Strike.


I dunno what the moral of these two stories is, other than:


    Use an e-mailer which AUTOMATICALLY catches e-mails or
    attachments that contain viruses.  Both of my emailers
    have that capability -- my Clemson e-mailer has a much
    stronger catcher (of both incoming and outgoing email)
    for viruses!
