- This is exactly the sequence of events described sub G3 in the VIRUS-L
- FAQ list, which has been posted, recently.

- Stoned + Michelangelo (original MBR lost), what else did anybody expect?

- I wonder why we saw so diverging responses to this poster. Do the
- experts not bother to read the FAQ list? I assure you, reading it is
- worth-while! I do not say so because I am acknowledged in its preface
- (my contribution was rather limited), but because knowing what's in
- the FAQ list could save many VIRUS-L subscribers -- both novices and
- experienced virus busters -- a lot of work, honestly!
