At 12:09a -0700 05/20/2004, roncross didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

There is nothing stupid in posting a potential problem that can damage peoples' computers through viruses, trojan horses, etc...

There IS something stupid in posting:
* an entire Web page instead of a URL to it
* HTML format instead of plain text format
* alarmist messages

Perhaps you're new to the Internet and don't know these things yet. Well now you know, so please remember.

On a related note: if you ever receive email which asks you to send or forward it to many people, DON'T. Those are chain letters, whether they say "9 days later he died" or not. They are social engineering viruses. I don't care if it's the most spiritual poem or heartwarming story -- it's a social virus, and should be deleted. (It's also a violation of America Online's TOS to forward chain letters.)
