Hi Gerry and All, What is interesting to me is that I know all the stuff that has been mentioned about viruses and false alerts, etc. and still, I jumped into the hoax with both feet! I know better!! For some reason I assumed that this list was rather immune from that sort of nonsense! Mea Culpa! The whole message was setup to fool. After a while, I find I begin to let down my guard on the internet. Not a wise thing to do. I apologize to those to whom I sent the message and furthered the hoax. <sigh> Sorry! Gerry, thanks for the well-deserved flame on that message! ___________________ Regards, Roger Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thespiritquest.org > Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2001 19:57:35 -0700 > From: "Gerald E.
