Apparently I inadvertantly discovered a glich in the Ning forum software. Or more accurately in some browser guard anti-virus software.
Sometime last week I picked up a Trojan virus from the internet. So I upgraded my virus protection software.
I've been running PC Tools with Browser guard.
Well I got back to this PFA forum board and decided to post a discussion about Obama.
When I hit "Add" that Browser guard began adding my post to the forum,,,, about 700 times.
It took me over two hours to try to delete them all. At least I hope I got them all.
My sincere apologies to all members of the PFA forum if you happened to be here trying to read anything at the time. It certainly was not intentional and I hope no real harm was done.
Bottom line I guess is be careful if you pick up a virus anywhere, and be careful if you're running any kind of browser guard or anti-virus software while posting to these Ning boards.
Just a small warning.
Now I hope I can post this message, only once, not 700 times.

No problem bro at least you told us about it and stepped up.

I posted that original message at around 11:45pm. It took me until 3:00am to delete all the additional entries.
Trust me, running PC Tools Browser Guard while posting to these message boards is not a good idea.
And I really hope this entry only gets posted once. Thanks for all the support.
Do yourself a favor and empty your sent box also.
An E-mail from the Postal Service about a package caused a lot of problems yesterday; wife took a copy of that e-mail to the post office ; the postal supervisor said that he received a lot of complaints and with that copy he would be able to do something. Took all day to clear the virus.
I got that same e-mail. It wasn't the usual spam e-mail and I was expecting a package, so I opened it. BIG MISTAKE. It sent a stupid e-mail to everyone in my contacts! You can't trust anything these days. My virus scan did not find anything! How did you get rid of it, Raffaela??
@Yellow Rose of Texas ; my wife is* almost * a computer genius and that e-mail caused a lot of problems ;
she kept working with Norton 360 , took her all day and lot of frustration , but finally corrected the problem and got rid of the virus. Rafael in Texas too.
To all members and friends here , Please check this video ; thanks .
We are having a phenomenal response to our new "Obama GET OUT" ad. The spot already has more than 100,000 views on YouTube and the feedback we are hearing is overwhelmingly positive.
Just played the ad, my 12 yr old granddaughter had to come in and bop to it! Looks like a winner to me. Sure wish I could afford to support it.
Not to worry happens to the best of us.
