Merle, Did you actually READ that e-mail before you shouted for the "beheading" of the sender???? IF you DID read it, then you would have seen not one, not two, but THREE APOLOGIES in it, along with a "Good luck and let me know if you have any problems." Does that REALLY sound like someone who should be THROWN OFF THE LIST for HONESTLY trying to help others before their computers were infected by what he OBVIOUSLY BELIEVED was HIS infected computer? It seems to me that these viruses wouldn't have the power to do NEARLY as much damage as they do, if more people like Wil took the time to TRY and warn others whom they may have inadvertently infected. YES, THIS one WAS a hoax, but that e-mail to the list was SO OBVIOUSLY sent out of GENUINE concern for others, and NOT in an attempt to perpetuate the hoax!! I would have HOPED that people were a bit more tolerant of HONEST MISTAKES!!!!!!
