5GJW,

A citation is trite because the offense is rather unique, and perhaps quite unintentional on your part? I received a complaint the link YOU gave in YOUR post 181315.html took someone to a rogue site "that appeared demonic" that runs a rogue Java Applet that threatens to put a virus on their computer (THEN WIPE OUT THE FAT TABLE OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM), and know what it did to their system?

It crashed their Netscape program! They ran a virus check without detecting any virus, but said their system seems "buggy."

Anymore such links will result in action that I regret to take against someone like you who has been a good contributor to our site (an action that befell another a week ago). Please, take this VERY seriously, because our site cannot in any way jeopardize the hard-earned computers and software of our brothers, sisters and others who visit H2O.

I cannot believe you meant it, or else I wouldn't simply warn you. I ask anyone who checks the post in the bit bucket (after it arrives there in approximately one hour from now), to NOT click on the post. The site launches an applet and threatens to do some serious damage to your computer's operating system.

Thank you for taking this seriously.

Rick/M1
