Re: Virus Hoax

Hello.

Not to keep the discussion going, but personally, I'd be thanking Tim,
if only for the sentiments. I know eveyone's tired of the hoaxes, but
there may be such a thing as an e-mail virus out there somewhere
apparently. Since webtv will not edit what it stores, I used an
apparently infected machine that created a false sense of security that
it would limp along in an impaired fashion indefinitely enough to trust
it with a light ethnobotanical text I spent many hours and days writing,
until the appropriate shareware could be located. Then it suddenly
worsened beyond the reach of both anti-virus program and any attempt to
salvage its contents. If I remember right, knowledgeable foreign
correspondents who had often e-mailed that address had indeed reported
this previously in their computers. It very likely did originate as an
unsolicited communication with no other purpose, if I understand
correctly.
