Virus

Apologies that the virus got through - I am not infected (that was a 
Windows virus, and I use a Mac).  Unfortunately the mailing list 
software is rather primitive and it authenticates senders based on 
their email address.  Since these viruses randomly forge sender 
addresses, there is always a small chance that one will hit the right 
email address and the right mailing list.  That is what happened here.

It should be a very rare occurrence, but if it does happen again I will 
try to take measures to prevent it.

Kind regards,

Ian.
