That mail was sent by Chris Kelly @ OM-Records (ck@om-records.com)
and yes, i think we all got it. What happened to me was that this mail
blocked all my incoming mail (i cant possibly download a 5mb mail) and
eventually i had to telnet to my isp and manually delete the mail.

Chris, what in gods name were you thinking when you attached a picture
like that? Its bad enough that you attached anything..but a 5MB file???
thats sick!

anyway..i jus thope noone will ever ever ever E V E R send any
attatchments, nomatter how small they are, to the list. Im sure 90% of
you agree that any pictures/sounds/whatever should be sent to the
persons that actually want it..and not the entire list :P
