To Sherry and the rest of the listers, The list host is correct. Such things as these can permeate lists and perpetuate themselves to the point of clogging our lists' threads. HOWEVER--I do feel it necessary to know of such problems should they be the real thing. That is why we need to adhere to the host's request and contact them directly in such cases. We can also do our part to squelch such stories and hoaxes by using the two websites below BEFORE starting a panic. I have used they often to debunk hoaxes about viruses and sicko stories. THEN we can pass on the info to the list host. http://www.urbanlegends.com/ http://www.hoaxkill.com/index2.thtml Just trying to keep the peace.........

Well I am glad!!! I didn't mean to make anyone "Pissed" at me, ggeeezzzeeee...... I can't keep up with all the VIRUS/HOAXES. I apologize for any problems if any, that anyone had. I had gotten a VIRUS a few months back and well didn't want other people thinking that it was me once again, cause just my luck I would have been the one to send everyone a Virus, and once again I would catch hell from it again, like I am right now geezzee you try and do something you think is good and you catch hell from it, so I will not let anyone else know about any Viruses or Hoaxes again. > Thanks for letting me know this was a Hoax. OK...... OK > > Once again, > Sherry > But think nexttime this might not be a HOAX! > > ______________________________
