(sort of like a poster folded up and sent in a large white envelope, had all the happenings of the Crystal Day events listed on the poster.) Anyway....there was this bit of info about the Bunnygod... THE BUNNY CREATURE The Bunny Creature, Echo, the name given to the power of good. Represented in Ancient Nordic, Siberian and Eskimo Art as a ghost-like rabbit. In each of these northern ethnic groups, followers of Echo were known as 'The Rabbit People' or 'Bunnymen', in translation. Echo and the Bunnymen initially used the motif of Echo (The Bunny Creature) on their first single sleeve, 'The Pictures On My Wall' released May 5th, 1979. ~~~ Does anybunny know which way the Bunnygod is supposed to be facing? I was wondering if it's head is supposed to be facing right or left. I've seen it both ways on official merchandise, including this poster! The little image near the above info was facing right....but the image drawn over the map of Liverpool for the Crystal Day event was facing left! Maybe it doesn't matter?

I think that you're supposed to place it in parallel with the nearest leyline -- facing in either direction along the line ;-P Of course, I don't recall Drummond's worldwide version of a leyline ;-) would have to drag out _Never Stop_ .... It was feng shui before it got popular in the Western world! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 17:50:58 -0000 From: "looloo" Subject: seven-seas a friendly warning just to let you know ..there may be a virus out there... my pc detected one in a mail supposedly sent from KP..its the bugbear one ( its ok i'm clean now) anyway the theory is it may of been sent by anyone with both me & kp in their address book so ......... just be careful eh ;-) alos kp passed on a tip that may or may not be useful ... I also saw this which I thought was a smart idea in 'Webuser' "Here is a good tip to stop the growing number of worm viruses such as Bug Bear, which send emails to everyone in your address book. Add an invalid email address to the top of your address book such as 'aardvark.wormdetect'. Note that the @ sign is missing. When the worm tries to send an email to this address, the email program flashes up with an error message telling you it's invalid. At least now you're aware the system is infected and can stop the spread of the virus and save your system." Hows that for a simple but smart idea?? looloo ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 12:51:32 -0600 (CST) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: seven-seas Re: [villiers-terrace] a friendly warning > "Here is a good tip to stop the growing number of worm viruses such as Bug > Bear, which send emails to everyone in your address book.

It works for some versions of the virus but not all. It's worth doing, but don't rely on it. Ditch Exchange and Outlook and you'll have far fewer viruses. - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 22:56:46 -0000 From: "K.P.

KP, There's no duh about what you said -- it's a help, it's just not a cureall. If someone must or prefers to run Windows, the operating system is so full of security holes that the only defence is to use a virus checker and keep it up-to-date religiously. Since the virus writers have found it more fun to spew out mail and clog the Internet and annoy as many people as possible -- more fun than merely erasing your entire hard drive, for example -- they have started attacking address books. Adding a dummy entry or entries will stop the older versions of the virus, which do continue to circulate. Tijn's point about not *having* an address book will indeed stop those sorts of viruses cold. It's definitely a pain to have to look up folks when you want to send mail; on the other hand, you can *save* their mail and always pick up their address by going to an older piece of mail and hitting 'reply.' Virus writers also want to get the most bang for their code, so they go after the more popular email programs, like Exchange or Outlook. Using Netscape Mail or Eudora will make one much less likely to be a *target* of a virus though it doesn't make it impossible. What *does* make it impossible is ditching the Windows OS and using a Unix-based OS, such as Linux. The operating system itself then blocks malicious code by "killing" any request that a user makes that would harm the system. You can then run a program like elm, which is what I run. It's literally impossible for me to get a virus via e-mail. But it does mean not using the Windows platform -- and most people prefer Windows. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #58 *******************************
