Tell me this then. First is there a requirement to use security, virus, or, perish
the thought, spam in a subject line? Second, it is repeatedly stated in this NG that
disguising a userid in a post is a good thing. I agree. My message explained the
awkwardness of this, and so I requested some advice on this to make this easier. Do
you really believe this is an imappropriate request amongst people who have very
likely faced this problem? Tell me then where are your rules of conduct and posting
guidelines for this newsgroup?. Also tell me who the moderators are or any other
authority. Let them act. If they don't like my posts, let them be the judge of
whether the question is OK? If you and David have this power then why don't you
cancel the offensive post (profanity) simply titled "virus".
