Just a reminder everyone. DO NOT OPEN an attachment with a message in the email saying: > Take a look to the attachment. This single statement is your clue to the virus enclosed in the attachment with that message. I don't like to post virus warnings or the such but it seems that our mailing lists are prime targets for this kind of thing as they get mailed to a LARGE group of people. And it seems that some people have decided to use that and the fact that if we're on these lists we have a heightened sense of curiosity. So PLEASE be careful what you open. I know most of you probably know this, but it is better safe than sorry. Thanks. Its warmer....happy haunting....oops I mean hunting........ <GRIN> The cemeteries have been beautiful to work in this week! More to come!! Faye
