I subscribe to serious medical webpage about diabetes and treatment. most recent issue was released today and I downloaded it. I wasmighty pissed off to find that on one page in the newsletter there wasa single tiny insect crawling about on my screen. At first I was dupedinto thinking it was real and tried to scratch it off - no dice. ThenI realised it was moving up and down the screen with the data as Iscrolled the screen.I was mighty pissed off at the time I'd wasted especially as even nowi don't know the origin of the bug, and intend to email the authors ofthe page and give them a piece of my mind but...How can I be certain the bug is embedded in their code? Stopzillahasn't found anything.Derek G

probably there's a hidden link to a JavaScript or flash overlay..look for that in the source.Probably a hack by someone.

Joke "bugs" in webpage, -or are they ?

Actually, I think there is a whole new generation that do know of USENET but only as a means of downloading large binary files of dubious origin.
