Hi Vicki, Please do not take the message personal; as Hostess it is part of my 'duty' to ask that these virus messages not be posted to the list. As a matter of fact, I was hit with the Badtrans virus tonight myself :-) It came in from a list a Yahoogroups (and they do allow attachments to be sent to their mailing lists). Because this email to me was private and from another list member, I didn't hesitate to open it. BAM....it hit me. Two hours later, my system is once again clean. My comments were not meant to be personal or disresepctful. I hope all parties understand. From now on, let's all remember not to send out virus warnings on the list. You can do so privately but please, not to the list itself :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr -----Original Message----- From: VABrannon@aol.com <VABrannon@aol.com> To: SCNEWBER-L@rootsweb.com <SCNEWBER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, May 04, 2001 11:55 PM Subject: Re: [SCNEWBERRY] VIRUS ALERT - FOR REAL >Thanks.....I have been deluged with letters informing me that this was a hoax.
