That is also true Axel. We should do what we can to protect our computers

but not " Assume guilty until proven innocent " as that is just unjust and

unfair.

P.S. it doesn't matter if she SEEMS innocent, a competent person can easily

assume any persona they choose... I can see someone becoming paranoid. IF I

were a hacker it DOES make sense to assume an innocent, helpless

language-challenged person to garner sympathy and avoid suspicion. But then,

perhaps a stalker would also see fit to be a lurker too... or maybe just

make enough of a show to avoid the status of " lurker " such as Irene has

done... you never know! All I'm saying is, this is an electronic medium of

words, typed by anyone. We can assume any persona we wish, it is purely up

to us to decide how we represent ourselves... maybe I'm not a 24 year old

midwest American male? Maybe I'm not even an O? Maybe I'm joachim from the

BB of Dr. D's site and I'm covertly stalking my nemesis? The possibilities

are endless!!!

That was exactly my point.

Well written by a true scholar.

Thanks again, Axel.

> Irene Nielson e-mailed me from the address: _irene-m@... with

the subject line " Re: Re: Please read..... " There was NOTHING in

the body of the e-mail, and it had the aforementioned unopened attachment. I

have never opened an attachment from a complete stranger who doesn't write

any message in the body. This was mailed to me on 11/29/01 at precisely 3:46

PM by my computer's time (midwest, central time...). Is that detailed

enough? I don't have enough experience with computers... I constructed this

e-mail from a reply to Irene Nielson's blank e-mail to me, if you get an

attachment delete it. I don't seem to be having any problems, I didn't open

it, maybe I've been spared. Whatever is going on... I'm scared.
