Speaking of Dana Dillon, THIS VIRUS WARNING IS A HOAX.

If anyone has passed it on, let them know.

Gonzo, if you could, Reply All on that message and let them know it was a hoax.

I always verify these email viruses to be hoaxes at this website:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/hoax.html

This particular hoax is here:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/family.pictures.html

I always check on these things because the hoaxes are no more than internet chain letters and I fucking hate them.

Hey man I'm not blaming you.... being in the IT department I see these things all the damn time.... some users are good and run it by me first, some decide to forward it to the entire company. Just Friday, I myself sent one out to the entire company, requesting that they run all virus warnings by me first before forwarding to anyone.

As I said, I just hate these stupid things... cause honestly they're just chain letters.... and I frickin hate those too.

ESPECIALLY the "send this to 10 people and you will see something cool pop up on your screen!" GOD DAMN those are fucking annoying.... gotta give props to the guy who thought of it though.... genius way to spread your chain.... appeal to the person's curiosity...
