Umm...folks, can we keep this in perspective? Gregg's message was clearly a
joke, moderately amusing at worst, and much shorter than my version of the
obviously bogus virus alert.
Personally, I enjoy these "sky is falling" hoaxes. Keeps the internet
amusing. Anyone remember the recent Klingerman Virus hoax?

THIS IS NOT FUNNY. GIVERSON (WHATEVER OR WHOMEVER HE OR IT IS) NEEDS A GOOD
DOSE OF GROWING UP (ASSUMING HE IS OVER FIVE YEARS OLD PHYSICALLY.
MENTALLY,
HE IS NOT AND SHOULD BE REQUESTED TO LEAVE THE COMPANY OF CIVILIZED LIST
MEMBERS).
ALL WHO LIVE IN THIS CYBERSPACE NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL. HE, SHE, OR IT,
SHOULD
RETHINK HIS SENSE OF HUMOR OR LEAVE THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE CONVERSING ON
THIS
LIST.
I CALL ON THE LIST MANAGER TO EXERCISE SOME ADULT AUTHORITY AND FORCEFULLY
BAN THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS COMMENT.
