Robert Hankins says THANKS!

[Robert Hankins]

I am back to say THANKS
To all of you who helped put Knives and Knifemaking back into perspective for me.
This helped me realize it had taken precedence over the truly important things in my life...No longer.
I take FULL responsibility for what happened and I hold absolutely NO ILL WILL toward any of you who voiced your opinions.
To whoever sent the Virus...OOOPs caught it in time and it didn't work. Soon as it started to turn my screen green I killed it.
No Emails will be returned. I would like to make a call and put this to rest if someone cares to post the number.
Again thanks for turning my continued Knifemaking back into the fun it started out to be.

To whoever sent the Virus...

Just to let you know it is more likely that the virus was not sent to you intentionally. There is a class of computer virus that reproduces by emailing itself to random people selected from an infected computer's address book. If a user opens this email it will infect their computer and the cycle continues. I have personal experience with this class of virus. Last year Norton Antivirus started detecting viruses in blank emails sent by various relatives. My relatives weren't sending me virus-laden emails - the virus was the culprit, using the address books on their computers.

Generally, if it is like the W32 worms that have been going around, you are going to get it sent to you dozens and sometimes hundreds of times. If you received one email with a virus in it, there is a good chance it was sent deliberately.

Robert, why the change of user name?
