There are e-mail viruses out there that can only replicate by human
intervention, in a way
these virus infects the mind. Be on guard instead of falling prey. When
thinking of forwarding a
virus notice first ask "Is this a virus I am helping to spread?" The vaccine is
knowledge, and it
too works like a virus. My intention in posting to the list is to stop this kind
of viruses from
propagating here.

I would say "the advice of a virus is THE virus" and any replays become
offspring?s of the virus :-)

Thus
My first replay was the second generation
your replay was the third generation
and this replay makes it the fourth generation.

Multiply that by say 1000 members and we have 4000 offspring?s.
Hard to kill them all :-).

Respond and give life to a new generation, I for one will not
be hoaxed into creating a generation past the forth one.

There is lots of kinds os viruses, and one of them are
the one we have just seen.
I understand it is the best intention to advice
friends, but, the advice of a virus is a virus as
well... And a boring one...
And that kind of mail that always asks for you to send
forward to zillions of people, otherwise you will have
bad luck for the next 7 years....

That is funny...
Have a great day.
