Another nice quote today in an article from the Norwich Bulletin. It is attached to the link below.

After I emailed the note to Meredith, concerning their server which was sending bounce messages to me - hundreds of them - even though they knew (or should have known) I wasn't the culprit, I got this response (I have not corrected the spelling):
Geoff, Thanks for raising the issue of the SoBig virus infection. From the information that you have provided, it does look like the infected machine is located at Jeter Cook & Jepson Architecs, Inc. of Harford, CT. Their contact information is provided below. Have your IT technical staff contact the admistrative contact or the technical contact below. They may not realize that they have a SoBig infected machine and that it needs to be cleaned.

So, I wrote back:
Dan,

You misunderstand. In my case, Meredith is the guilty party. You are the
ones sending these hundreds of emails to me. And, you're sending them to me
even though both you and I know they are coming from JCJ.

Why should I be the person contacting JCJ? I have nothing to do with this
at all. It is your server which is improperly set to respond to these
messages that you know are bogus.

You must take action to stop this before close of business today.

Maybe I should just forward all the messages to him? I'm not sure what to

It's really tough to tell, so I have refrained from saying anything. Ivy hasn't been panting like she was when she first went to the vet. She does seem lethargic... but she is a sedentary dog. We have been carrying her up and down stairs.

Helaine says she still feels Ivy's breathing is still shallow, and that is definitely a symptom of the problems the doctors described. It is not quite as obvious to me; possibly because I wasn't attuned to it before all of this began.

Maybe the good news really is, she's doesn't seem to be getting worse. That might mean the drugs have begun to help her turn the corner. But, this is by no means definitive and we're still very concerned.
