You should calm down. I'm neither an "outraged" or "damaged" customer,
I'm
not even a customer, I'm just a person grazing nursery websites looking
for
a specific plant. If I get several warnings from my AV program, why
should I
go back to that site? I suppose I could write them a snail mail to tell
them about this, so I don't have to do it online and risk another virus
or
whatever. OTOH, I guess you've done the work for me, alerting my ISP
and
the nursery. Thanks.

You're most welcome. Thank you for your concern but I am very calm. The
one exhibiting hysteria is you by rushing to a newsgroup as you did.
There is a modern instrument called a telephone with which you could
contact that Nursery. There is private email. There is NOT a need to
jeopardise someone's business because you're having a bad moment which may
have nothing to do with them. And if it does, it would have been
reasonable to warn them of the problem.

Everybody who has any sense hides their real email address when posting
in
forums. I was so stupid as a newbie back in 1994 I posted in forums
using
my real email address, now I have 500 emails a day trying to sell me
drugs
and viagra.

And that is your excuse for trying to wreck someone's trading reputation?
I hide my real email address (personal) but I use my own name. If you
wish to be taken seriously, perhaps you could do the same. That way
Beeches Nursery will be able to identify YOU, the person, without having
access to your private email address and if they wish to do so, they will
discover whether you are a disgruntled customer, a sacked former employee
with an axe to grind, or a total stranger to their site who they could
answer here. So - who are you? Please post your real name with a munged
email address, if the latter makes you happy.

To reiterate, I am neither a disgruntled customer nor a sacked former
employee with an axe to grind, nor am I trying to wreck anybody's
reputation. I am a total stranger who was looking for a species of Dahlia.
I don't intend to go back to their site to get either their email address or
their telephone number. Anyway, you've told them all about it, so they
already know that at least one person had a problem with their site.

I don't intend to post my name. If my address is munged anyway, why should
you care if my name was Adam Smith or Eve Jones.

Have a nice Christmas.
