RE: REAL VIRUS

Bill,

Thanks for the link.  (Cannot display it now, so will check into it later.)

I agree with you...  However, what I said, does not contradict what you are
saying...  If the people receiving these notes take it with a grain of salt,
as I did, then there is no panic.  It depends on the person getting the
e-mail, as much as the content of the note.

I was going to let the issue go, but your tone of last sentence above is the
fallacy of sending these notes around without checking it.  Take a look at
the
page referenced below and check out the second paragraph following the
"Origins"
section.  THAT is what's wrong with sending this stuff around.
