I'm sure that most everyone has seen this warning by now.  Jacque asked me to
relay a message from her to confirm that while the original message had her name
on it, she did NOT send it out, at least intentionally.   She would have sent a
message to the list herself, but didn't want to take ANY chances of propagating
this virus any further.

Speaking for myself now, I presume that we all will have to deal with a
situation somewhat similar to this at sometime or another.  You always hope you
can stay one step ahead of people who think developing and inflicting a "virus"
like this on the world is just great fun.  This is a great group of people and
with all of us helping one another we can try to minimize any potential for
problems.

>
> ******* Please do not open the attachment !!! **********.

> FYI - Melissa infects your documents and then emails out those documents to
