[CQ-Contest] V**** warning (List related -- not an urban legend)

[Sylvan Katz]

I encountered this problem on another contesting.com list. The problem
arises because someone on the reflector has the BADTRANS virus [ alias
IWorm_Badtrans, I-Worm]. For details about this virus see
http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/badtrans.shtml . The way I handled
the problem was to send a message to the list moderator,  provide the email
address from which the virus originated and asked if this individual could
be dropped from the reflector until they disinfected their machine.
Unfortunately it did not help to send a message to the individual with the
infected computer since all that did was prompt the infected machine to send
me the virus again.
