Mr. Metals, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I do get lots of email and I probably would have missed such an email....

Re: VERY IMPORTANT --> HOAX, Please note that there has been some concern about some so called computer 'viruses' circulating around: i) Join the Crew ii) PENPAL GREETINGS! Both of these 'virus' alerts are hoaxes. See the explanations below. In the future if you are un-sure about the authenticity of a virus alert that you receive please check out some Internet sources such as ciac.llnl.gov which reports virus hoaxes to the public. i) Join the Crew virus hoax Circulating the Internet is an email message entitled "Join the Crew". For a virus to spread, it must be executed. Reading a mail message does not execute the mail message. Trojans and viruses have been found as executable attachments to mail messages, but they must be extracted and executed to do any harm. CIAC still affirms that reading E-mail, using typical mail agents, can not activate malicious code delivered in or with the message. Variants of this email message are circulating the Internet. If you receive an email message entitled "Join the Crew" and it has an attachment, CIAC recommends that you delete the message and the attachment. If you receive just the message, delete the message. Please DO NOT circulate unvalidated virus alerts. ii) PENPAL GREETINGS! Warning Hoax The PENPAL GREETINGS! Hoax shown below appears to be an attempt to kill an e-mail chain letter by claiming that it is a self starting Trojan that destroys your hard drive and then sends copies of itself to everyone whose address in your mailbox. Reading an e-mail message does not run it nor does it run any attachments, so this Trojan must be self starting. Aside from the fact that a program cannot start itself, the Trojan would also have to know about every different kind of e-mail program to be able to forward copies of itself to other people. This warning is totally a hoax. Henry Hooymans
