oh! no! - not again!!!

GOOD TIMES, PENPAL GREETINGS and DEYENDA...

Let me nail down at once: Theses are not viruses - but jokes.
The only virus that appears, are those millions of e-mails that
the fear for the above mentioned had generated.

My advise, stop this misguided effort to warn others of
a "non-existent" threat, by sending "Virus Alert's" to
friends/newsgroups/mailing lists etc.

Panic over unfounded rumors causes another very real
problem -- floods of e-mail warnings that can slow Internet
traffic to a crawl!

...so please only dx-related stuff to this list

OK?
