I read an interesting message just today on my local FidoNet node in the 
EchoMac section.  It went like this:


db From:    David Beecher

db To:      Chuck Maddox                   Msg #470, 09-Mar-88 12:03pm
db Subject: Re: Mac Mag's Peace Message Virus

db It would be easier to contact the territory's authorities and  notify
db them of illegal modification of your computer equipment.  The FBI in
db our country looks as "virus'" or "bombs" as illegal entry (breaking &
db entering) with attempt to destroy.  They like to nail these people and
db make examples of them.  Surely there are similar authorities in
db Canada. This is one way to get even. . Just a thought, -Dave

Personally, I think this is a pretty darn good idea.  I'd like to see our
MacMag friend hanged from the rafters.  An example or two of rough treatment
of these jerks that produce and propagate viruses just might do the job to rub
them out.  I'd much prefer to see a virus attacked at its source rather than
when it is already trying to corrupt my System file!
