That's good to know I'm not being dropped!
THOUGHT: Like Michael said, EVERYONE should check their system. This worm
attaches itself to files on your hardrive.
that means you can very well be uploading it to a

that any virus that gets through my various other traps will automatically
be dumped down to text. This basically renders it useless (also works with
script viruses and the like). I would like all current and past members to
check their machines for the virus though. Someone has it and they have your
name, my name and the list name in their address book at the very least.
