Our Listserv also received a single file from [log in to unmask] This file,
named COM FILE, consisted of 32 'LIST LONG' commands. Fortunately, I was
updating the BITEARN NODES when it arrived and transferred it out of the
server's reader. Had it been processed, it would have caused a significant
load on both the server as well as the net. The user has been served off.
 
This kind of network behavior is truly unworthy of any network user.
