Dear Members: I swear, I was bitten and this is what happened. We received 56 attachments this morning that viciously circled my e-mail system. The virus that was sent and, I swear I don't know how I got it other than yesterday when the warnings came across the e-mail, came into my inbox and before I could read it or even delete it, stuck it's self into my outbox. This morning, it sent it's self back to me over and over along with sending all of you that were messaging the list the same thing I received. The e-mail, stating I was sending it did exactly what I was told yesterday that it would do. I deleted that message along with everyone of the others I received yesterday to no avail. Everyone else was getting something sent out from ME when I was not sending anything at all!! Immediately, upon discovery of this incident and infection, I shut down my system. Upgraded my antivirus program and have finally nipped it in the BUTT ... I hope I did!! No, I did not send naked pictures of myself or anyone else. No, I did not respond to the Military Question. I have sent nothing out to anyone including the list until NOW. I am so sorry if this caused anyone as much grief as it has caused me. I wish people that do these things would stop. Please accept my apology for any inconvenience this has caused anyone at all. I swear, I was an innocent victim like most everyone else that suffered through this just as I did. Obviously, my personal system needs to be upgraded and it showed me that my poor old computer needs major work in keeping up with this nastiness that continues to be past around for some sick practical joke. I love this list and would do nothing to jeopardize it's reputation or my own. Shelia C. BACHELDER

Shiela--not to worry--no one can blame you--these things are like a thief in the night sneaking in the back door. It can happen to anyone of us. Good thing is you "killed" it. Hugs Helen
