Subject: [AUS-SMITH-LOST] Re: {not a subscriber} apology for VIRUS ALERT
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 10:04:45 +0000


Firstly to all subscribers to the list my apologies for not stopping this
thread immediately. I was called away from home rather quickly and have
only just arrived back.

Secondly, NO VIRUS MESSAGES ARE TO BE POSTED TO THIS MAILING LIST.
If you are concerned about a virus at all please CONTACT ME FIRST!!! Or,
check with your own virus protection company.

Most virus messages are a hoax and should a subscriber follow the
instructions you forward to the list then that will crash their computer,
wipe their hard drive or just all of their information.

I have and do still remove peoples subcriptions from the list if virus
messages are posted.

Bright Blessings
