Friends---the fact that "OUR" old posts to PIEN are coming back to haunt us, with a VIRUS attached, and sent from Bonnie Clay Riley among others, has now been documented and explained------these posts apparently attach themselves to anyone's PIEN posts, so no one should think that "WE" are sending them again ! Can we save some bandwidth now and let this work itself out? The 2 recent posts below should answer our questions--- 1. From Murray Charters--- I believe this is the VIRUS referred to by postings on the PARKINSN List... All the best .... murray ******************************************************************************* This message was sent to you by ([log in to unmask]).

Cut and paste, should this occur.) ******** 2. From Sid Levin-- There are a few simple steps one can follow to avoid a virus. Sooner or later, some computer knowledgeable idiot will figure out a way to bypass the virus guards, but you can protect yourself anyway. 1. If you dont know the sender, don't open any attachments from them. 2. If you do know the sender, don't open the attachment unless you knew they were sending it. 3. If you receive a letter with an attachment from someone you know, but were not expecting it, write back for a confirmation that they did in fact send it. 4. Take two aspirin and go to bed. You can sleep safely.
