Will AVG identify mine?
You really are a pillock aren't you?
Let us clarify so that even a fool such as yourself can understand.
The Klez worm promulgates on a known fault within Microsoft's Explorer
software but that can't be the problem as "Thomas Lee" says that it came to
him in e-mail. It can also promulgate via a fault in Outlook Express. Hey!
That's e-mail. *But*, there is a patch available that stops this happening,
as would any half-way decent anti-virus software, assuming it's up to date.
However, a moment's cursory glance shows us that {R} posts/mails using
Forte's Agent software and Klez does not, and can not, infect this. Not only
that, but a quick check shows that Gradwell uses the same software.
Which means, you daft old fruit, that "Thomas Lee" was telling a pile of
stupid porkies.
Mr Hughes. This "Thomas Lee" is now a proven liar. Your comments are?
(now here, of course, I could accurately predict a response of:
"Hello Richard ;-)" but let's see if we can't kill that one before it
happens)

That's why I deliberately used the quotation marks Thomas. During my many
months of lurking it's become painfully obvious who is, and who isn't, of
value to the uk.* and I didn't want anyone to think I was deluded that the
"Thomas Lee" posting the original stupidity was the same Thomas Lee that
posts both thoughtfully and intelligently.

He should resign as a vote taker because he is obviously biased about
these voters and he has also acted in a manner not becoming a vote taker
with Ricard Ashton.
All these persons are unlucky to have the same names as some others but
like John Smith there are lots of the same names around.
Allen
--
I am not Thomas Lee or Richard Ashton or indeed Ricard Ashton.
Your PGP signature indicates that you are 'A Thomas Lee' who has
obtained the relevant software to sign youremails and news posts.
There are a number of persons, over forty I have checked called Thomas
Lee, there is a gentleman called Thomas Lee who posts in this news
forum. There is also one of a number of Richard Ashtons ( God help
them).
, these are all seperate persons one or more of which have ;
a) established a posting history by posting into this group.
b) requested a ballot form from the vote taker
c) completed the form with their own particulars
d) returned the form within the time scale
e) received an acknowlegement
f) received an email from Richard Ashton the vote taker with a virus
attached.
Thomas Lee has complained here and a challenge by bully Ashton was
issued to produce the headers of the email from Ashton.
Richard Ashton also posted the headers in his email and confirmed that
he too had received a virus and had to re install completely.
Ashton criticises them both for making the statement saying it is
impossible. Given Ashtons expertise I would question that. It is
possible to use the software in his possession to transmit a virus
together with an email.
It is also possible that he has forged headers in his mailer to make it
appear he is using different programmes than that he professes to use.
Richard Ashton should resign as he has criticised voters in the course
of an election being run by himself and tried intimidating Ricard Ashton
not to vote.
You my little chickadee have the job as a member of the committee to
investigate these matters of
a) Ashton intimidating a voter
b) Ashton refusing to accept a vote from suitably qualified voters
c) Ashton ridiculing matters pertaining to a vote he is currently
involved in and trying to intimidate those persons who have properly
complained
The vote must be voided and the CFV reissued without any of the four
incorrect items it was previously issued with.
A vote taker should be requested from an organisation other than uk
voting which is endorsing Astons actions at this time.

I strongly suspect that one or several of Allen's gang of pirates send

I do not generally sign my emails (or news posts). I do occasionally
sign some, but only for the avoidance of doubt. And lately, your
forgeries have made this increasingly necessary.
Also, note that my public key has been in circulation for some time,
both on my web site and on every PGP server I've been able to find. This
was done long before you started creating mischief here. It is sad that
I have to resort to signing post so as to ensure folks are not tricked
by your forgeries.

No chance.
At least not based on the 'evidence' you have presented thus far.
In case you had not noticed, this place runs on 'best efforts'. We +all+
mistakes from time to time and while these are regrettable, we try to
use a little common sense when deciding how to handle them.

Thank you for posting these headers. If accurate, they conclusively
prove that the email associated with them could not possibly have
contained a virus.

It is possible. However, he cannot forge the headers added by the
recipient's mail server and client, and he cannot forge the headers to
make it look like a plain text email when it's actually carrying a
binary or HTML section.
Of course, if you knew anything about email and viruses, you'd know
that. Even if you didn't know that, it would have been sensible to
make the effort to find out before trying to make tthis kind of
allegation.
This error is so elementary, in fact, that I can only see two possible
reasons for it:
1. Allen really is is so incredibly stupid that he thought his
forgeries would be convincing.
2. Allen doesn't care about being convincing; he just wants to be as
much of a nuisance as possible and has pretty much given up any
pretence of having justification.
My guess is that the second of these is the closest to the truth. But
I wouldn't rule out the first.

Nothing washes with you. We've known that for ages. The point Richard is
making is that your allegations don't wash with anyone else.

Anybody who doesn't like uk.* is at liberty to set up their own
hierarchy. If existing news admins won't take it in their feed, it's
not exactly hard to set up your own newsserver(s).
What happened to free.* anyway? Is it still going?

ta. Molly M has kindly e-mailed me off-line to tell me of "Turnpike" (which
I had forgotten about) so I'll be loading that up as well on a different PC
and doing a bit of bench-marking. Wouldn't it be fun if OE shows up as the
best :--)

And aren't I the pillock this time. Should have paid *more* attention to the

Turnpike is a good news/mail client. But remember, benchmarks generally
show what you want them to!
And if you are using virgin.net, turnpike will not be free, which is
something to consider. Personally, I've been using Turnpike for over 7
years and would not consider switching!

For new users, probably. I go on style and frequently don't even look
at the headers until after reading the message (and then will think "who
is this idiot?" and when I read the headers find it was myself <g>).
It's something I've done ever since I've been reading Usenet, and I
suppose approximates Dave J's "assumption of anonymity", in that I
generally don't know who the message is from until after I've read it
and already formed an opinion about it.
(Your style is nothing like "Thomas Lee"'s. Well, OK, it uses similar
letters...)

Thinking about it it would be hard to truly benchmark something like this;
I'll just have to compare usability. Or I would, but, CCS, it would appear
that "calypso", in the form you speak of, is dead. The Tucows link exists no
more and the MCS web page only refers to a much "fuller" product which, like
"Turnpike" is chargeable. I'm not bothered about buying one of them (and
"calypso" gives a 30 day free trial; haven't checked on "Turnpike" nor on
pricing for either as yet) but I don't wish to purchase both. Unemployment,
sadly, means some restrictions in expenditure.

A good recommendation and, as I told Molly, it was highly thought of by
people on upsd in the days I was a contributor there.

Gravity is now free AFAIK and IMHO well worth a look at, though it is
just a newsreader.

This too is not without problems. I've been using Turnpike for 7 years
and there are places where the usability are, shall we say, curious. For
example, consider adding a new newsgroup to the set of groups you carry.
First, you need to use the Configure?Newsgroups dialog to get the group
collected. Then you have to actually add the group to the list of those
you can read. I find this very non-intuitive.

IIRC, there's an eval version of turnpike, but see
demon.ip.support.turnpike for more details.

One last point - there is a bit of a learning curve. BUT, the demon
newsgroup noted above is outstandingly helpful when answering 'how do I
do this' type questions!

Thus proving that L stands for Lying; it also shows that L stands for
Libellous, since he has made accusations that Richard has committed a
criminal deed, contrary to the Computer Misuse Act.
At the very least, Richard should be getting TLCA's ISP/newsmaster to
have his posting rights suspended, pending publication of an apology.
I'm sure that Laurence could assist Richard in bringing suit against TLCA
as well.

PGP 0x5D623D5D I am woman. Here, me raw.

Can I just say thanks to one and all for their advice, updated links etc.
Unfortunately the last couple of days have been in hiatus so I've not
started yet. Last question for anybody. I'm putting tests up on a 450mhz
machine (ME), on a 233mhz (98 SE) and on a 366mhz laptop (also ME). Would
any of the recommended newsreaders have a problem on any of this kit? I
would doubt it but you never know.
Thanks again.
BigAl
Personally, I've not used ME or Win98 much. I'm more of an NT/2000/XP
guy. For me, 450mhz and 256mb of Ram is a very lower limit of acceptable
performance. This is irrespective of the news client. YMMV.
The main windows based newsreaders I'm familiar with are:
Agent/Free Agent
Gravity
Netscape
Outlook Express
Turnpike
I'd guess this makes up 95% of the clients in use (but no doubt someone
will come along with more precise stats....). But there are a load of
others, less know. I've played with pine and xnews, and a few others.
For me, the choice of client is about simplicity. I like having a
2-in-one client. On this basis, Gravity loses out - it's a great news
client, but does not do mail. I also love Turnpike's ability to convert
mailing lists into threaded 'news' groups.
Your choice of newsreader is also a 'political' statement. Microsoft's
OE, rightly in my view, does not have a great reputation for being the
most standards compliant and clueful of newsreaders.
Turnpike, on the other hand, is much more standards compliant and seems
to exemplify the old Internet spirit of being strict with what is sent,
and generous with what is received. SO you can't reply to a news article
by news and mail (without doing more work), you can't send HTML mails
(even though you can read them reasonably well.)
And I enjoy being effectively immune to some of the high profile
viruses/worms that afflict OE users.
Best of luck in your quest.
HTH.
Where's your PGP ? ;-)

I've been running Agent on a 233Mhz laptop (W98SE) for quite some time
now, without any performance problems (text newsgroups only); e-mail
client of choice is The Bat <http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/> (usual
disclaimers), also no problems.
