Martin - It appears that "JC" may have inadvertently sent a blank RAS
article
(via email? newsreader?) and his client added the Avast notice in his
signature.

Maybe it happened when he first used the Agent Newsreader client
(https://www.forteinc.com/agent/).

Seems a harmless error.

Maybe, but its odd: 'JC' has been around long enough (since 1994) to not
make 'em - and he's an audiophile/electronics guy, so double odd that
he'd subscribe to r.a.s let alone post anything to it.

Or, maybe I'm just narked by some RaspberryPi bloke who clearly knows
very little about newsgroups or NNTP, and doesn't seem to want to learn
about them, but nonetheless thinks it would be cool to crosslink Fidonet
(remember that?) so it can post to and read from newsgroups rather than
simply installing a newsreader.

Oh, well at least the next two days look vaguely soarable.
