 Er, I'd meant *indirectly* from the author, in a controlled environment.
A virus in the wild would also usually come indirectly from the author, in

 It looks like the ILUG AGM has a tentative date of 17th of June. This is
to give people notice & so that the colleges exams don't conflict. Any
ideas on speakers ?

 Anyone know if Jordan FreeBSD is availible for that ?
