Which (since you mention it...) I just got this evening again. I also got
the "join the crew" virus warning three times in the past two weeks. And
twice this week I got the FCC per-minute internet-charge warning, which was
legitimate a year ago but not now. There were arguments on three different
lists I'm on beween veterans and rookies about posting these things. When
are they going to reach a saturation point? It's kind of a verbal cloning
thing, I guess, but my hard drive is fairly large, so I will survive.... But
if I could get rid of only spam, or only recycled internet folklore, but not
both, I know what I'd pick given the volume of each I get! I guess the thing
is that new people are coming online all the time, and these things don't
always get distributed thoroughly when they first appear....
