Re: my farewell message:

What are the chances that this behaviour, which is beyond reckless, could lead to an infection of this list?. I'm using Win7; it's an old desktop from  2012 and, kpet up to date, and MalwareBytes Premium, Plus I have the Free Avast, and FireFox up to dayte, Also my Email is Verizon Webmail (which I may abandon for Mozilla Thunderbird because the Verizon sub-account system is unstable and I keep losing access to two of the sub-accounts since Verizon was tied to Yahoo) Webmail accounts are by nature secure since they do not connect directly to the machine; the browser is the "middle man" between them

That is why you can't use Audacity and should not use XP.
