I do not mean to infer that you are involved in a scam.

The issue is, anyone who downloads any attachment from anyone they do not know is allowing themselves to be vulnerable to a virus of some type. Everyone should know that. Most Internet Browsers tell you that when you are opening attachments.

Everyone tries to be helpful with this sort of thing however, and once you are up to perhaps your 100th or 500th or 1000th warning about an e-mail virus then perhaps you shall be rather quick to pour water on the fire as well. I have seen people get far more verbose in their replies than I but if you think that I was rude then I apologize.

In short, what I am saying is that people should check out these warnings rather than just pass them on because in most cases all one is doing is fulfilling the goal of the jackass who created the scam.

I'm not saying that you created a scam, I'm saying that after a few years of being on the internet that you will be getting a lot of spam about e-mail viruses which is just common sense.

In any event, I'm sorry if I snapped at you.
