Yo!   
       
   You are not the one who should be apologizing.  I didn't see the condemnaton   
   of D'Bridge in Z1C or anywhere else, but since I no longer archive anything   
   outside my purview, it may have been posted in a place I no longer visit or I   
   simply missed it.  In any case, whether I missed that despicable notice or   
   not, I condemn it.

   NA> Due to recent events regarding a false-positive detection with Clam   
   NA> Anti-Virus, as per the FILEGATE echo I am issuing the following "official   
   NA> addendum".   
       
   NA> D'Bridge does NOT contain a virus, spyware, malware or anything    
   NA> which would cause apparent emotional stress or issues for someone    
   NA> who is technically-adept at running a Fido system... specifically a    
   NA> large mail or File distribution system.   
       
   NA> Nor should it cause any concern for someone able to understand the   
   NA> concept of a false-positive... without deleting files from said    
   NA> distribution system (essentially being the "nanny" protecting your    
   NA> system from my actions), or gleefully Netmailing the author telling    
   NA> him to "clean up his mess".   
      
   NA> The virus Clam AV claims my code has, would immediately cause a tell-tale   
   NA> sign of infection on a Windows computer the moment D'Bridge is    
   NA> installed. Specifically modifying system files and generally    
   NA> causing things to "not be right". Given that the false-positive has    
   NA> existed for quite some time, prior to SR13, and here we are May    
   NA> 28th 2017, I would say its safe to assume that the problem is with    
   NA> Clam AV, and not a "mess" that I have to "clean up".   
       
   NA> So the author hereby apologises that recent code updates trigger the sky   
   NA> to be falling for an open-source anti-virus program while every    
   NA> other anti-virus solution on the planet gives the okay...    
   NA> specifically Enterprise-grade anti-virus products.   
       
   NA> The author also apologises that the operator of a major mail and file   
   NA> distribution systme had to involve their spouse to test my executable   
   NA> code despite clear evidence of a false-positive, despite my logical    
   NA> and factual explanation, and the fact that theres no way I could    
   NA> EVER publish something nefarious without incurring the lifelong    
   NA> wrath of every single Sysop in Fidonet. Apparently believing the    
   NA> words and actions of someone who has been developing Fido software    
   NA> and tools since 1994, and running a major mail system of his own,    
   NA> using his own software, is not good enough.   
       
   NA> The author also apologises for hearing nothing but crickets chirping when   
   NA> it comes to reports of viruses or any remotely-nefarious actions    
   NA> caused by my doing.   
       
   NA> Thank you. I welcome any comments or suggestions to help me better    
   NA> publish products that will not cause turmoil or anguish.
