Someone put an embedded file in the "you want serious???" thread. Please check to make sure it isn't a problem for anyone. Thanks

What do you mean by a embedded file? And just what does it do? Thank you for your cosideration

Most are humorous, many are weird but innoculous, some freeze the window or damage the PC. Some are links elsewhere, etc.

Nothing like that is apparent when I open that thread. Works and looks just like all the rest.

The offending post with the embedded file has been deleted. Viewing the source code, it looked like a .wav file, and my browser alerted me that a file with an .exe extension was about to be downloaded. Don't know what it was about, but it did concern me. Thanks sysop(s) for timely action.
