I am talking about the forged post which some asshole replaced
Alessandro's with, routing it through well-known malicious *.ru sites.
That you received the original message, with no rerouting, and no
forging and replacement with an attached virus only means you were

Thank you for making Alessandro's original post. You should be happy
rather than offended when you are warned about people who try to destroy
