You know, the last the "Good Times" warnings made their way about the
list I'm, I posted an idea about how to handle these things - of course
I may have missed this list, so here goes -

  1) Well-intentioned person posts virus warning.
  2) Everyone on list keeps grubby fingers OFF THE KEYBOARD
  3) List Owner looks into virus alert (if necessary) and posts "hoax,"
"real warning," or "don't know" as appropriate.
  4) For "hoax" or "real warning," we all get on with our lives. For
"don't know" all the know-it-alls can blather happily.

This way, if there's a real alert we'll all know about and if there's a
hoax we don't have our mailboxes cluttered with things like "tk's" bile.

Can we move on now, please?
