I RECEIVED THIS EARLY THIS MORNING & MY VIRUS SOFTWARE
SAYS THE ATTACHMENT CONTAINS A VIRUS. VIRUS IDENTIFIED: I-Worm/Gibe.B. I
WAS A LITTLE LEARY THAT MICROSOFT WOULD BE E-MAILING ME.
IF I AM WRONG, OK. HOWEVER IF THIS IS FILLED WITH A VIRUS I WOULD LIKE
TO WARN PEOPLE TO DELETE THIS AND NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.
I AM SURE MANY TRUSTING SOULS WILL GET NAILED WITH THIS BABY.
AND,YES I AM SHOUTING.

This has been hashed and rehashed for a couple of months now.

Would you learn how to properly cross-post articles before sending this
to every newsgroup you think might appreciate reading 3-month old
news...
 
Dear Mr. Reddon;
I replied to you @ another newsgroup, but I would still like to thank
you here.
Sincerely,
Wes
