    Email Virus?

    Barry,

    Something is up and it ain't good. I've got about 14 email messages in my Gmail inbox saying that they can't send a message to a particular user, and the message attached is a copy of one of my Wacco posts. I don't know why I would be sending email to people I don't even know with a copy of my post. Its not just one post, its everything I posted today.

    McAffee says I'm fine, no detectable viruses. I will stop posting after this and until I hear from you. I am connected to the internet through a wireless connection in my hotel room. Please let me know what else I should do. Here is a copy of one of the emails:

    I have explained this on a thread in the General Community category.
    In short, it is nothing to worry about. Just delete them.

    Hey Barry,,,, I got like 16 of these Wednesday night.....they usually go into my Yahoo bulk folder and I just delete them but this time 10 of them snuck into my INBOX............Whatsupwitdat?????????

    I thought 12 emails MTFK!......geez....YOU'VE GOT MAIL! But they were all duds 'cept for that two from Dubya asking me, "What the f*ck should I do now, Decter?" and "How am I'm going to get dat silly wabbit now, Mr. Love?" I think he was referring to Ohsama but I never know WTF George is talking about and I wish he'd stop bugging me for advice. Always says he wants the "Worm's Eye View." Bug F*cker.
