Virus Victim crawls out from under rock

["Dimock, Dick" <red -at- ELSEGUNDOCA -dot- ATTGIS -dot- COM>]

WOW!  Was that a powerful Effect!  Such Power in these keyboards!

Sincere apologies to all for wasting your time and money. Sincere
apologies to OK.STATE.EDU for wasting resources.

Just about 2 minutes after I hit the GOOD TIMES Send button, our
hawk-eyed, lightning-reflexed Sysadmin broadcast the hoax denial.

I knew I was in for it.

I desperately mailed Eric to stop my virus post. But Murphy and his
in-laws struck!  Two reboots later, I got the message off. I was hoping
that the same glitches (LAN drops) had also killed my virus post.
I was hoping Eric would see my second kill message.  I was
hoping the Net would crash. Anything.

Ah, the wisdom of the off-topic rules!  I shall observe the letter and
spirit. Except for my customary sigs.

Thanks to all for being considerate in your responses!  May all *your*
incoming flames be as easy to read as these were for me.

Best Regards to a great group of individuals,

Dick Dimock         The original Seuss Newbie, He of the
               Lightning Keyboard. Old Crowbreath.
               Now y'all get some inkling of what life
               is like at

AT&T GIS       where we are trying to evolve above
               the  Knee-Jerk response process yet
               ofttimes succumb, in stark contrast to
               laid-back, unflappable

El Segundo, CA      Where the GOOD TIMES roll. At a
               respectable RPM.
