Hello All;

Just a quick reminder to not post multiple emails to the List regarding the
recent virus outbreak. By posting a single message as I did a few nights
ago, I try to alert everyone to take precautions and also alert everyone
that, chances are, you'll probably be exposed (so remember, watch out!).

When many members start posting 'virus' posts (believe me, I know that
there are only good intentions involved), the virus starts becoming a new
menace by sucking up the List server's bandwidth.

If someone gets some really good valuable virus-related information, please
send me the email first and I'll post it to the List if I feel it is in
fact beneficial. And on that note, Jerry & Matteo had great links in their
posts pointing to Symantec pages that contain a bunch of information on the
new virus as well as a tool and instructions for making sure your system is
not infected, and fixing it if it is (and all for FREE).
