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
