According to the powers to be, this virus is not infecting the list. It is generated by your own computer. I just finished running mine through a virus checker and came out clean. I am hoping this one is not like the last one Happy99 which I received everyday just about. Just want to let you guys know that the list itself is not infected and it is safe to recieve and post to it.
