People- Anytime you get an email telling you to "SEND THIS OUT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!" it is a SPAM, pure and simple. The whole idea is to basically have this email propagate everywhere....sort of like a virus itself. It makes no difference if it is a "virus warning," a plea to "cure cancer," or help some unfortunate kid with a "terminal disease," a warning that some hackers are taking over AOL (an "AOL riot"), or even a nice poem for better living or love among all people- it is still SPAM. Please don't forward these messages. Including this one. Thanks
