Folks from Devel-l,

After sending the message below, I got 2 answers by e-mail. The first one was very helpful and I sent my thanks to the folk who collaborated so quickly.

The second message contained no message but only an attachment named HAPPY99.EXE, better known as Melissa virus. Since the message had a specific subject, we must believe that the sender of the message knew very well what he did.

Fortunately we are not as stupid as the sender thought, but we are shocked about such anti-developing, anti-communicative and unethical behavior of mister Joaquim Moura, mailto:joaquim.moura@persocom.com.br (or the sender of the virus using this name).

Maybe he does not agree with the objectives and activities of MST but we believe he could express his opinions in another way than through terrorristic acts. Anyway, we also believe that his attitude is incompatible with the aims of DEVEL-L
