Apologies to everyone, I was wearing my recently acquired 'dad' hat
instead of my 'net citizen' hat.  Please do not forward/copy the Cyber
Kids message.  I should have known better, having been part of the
internet for 10+ years, but I was only thinking of helping the kids, rather
than the potential effect on the net (not to mention their email account).
Geez, and I did this just days after griping about the Good Times hoax
passing through our company for the third time... am I ever embarrassed.
I hope I'm sending this soon enough to catch anyone else who isn't
wearing the right hat.

Chris

ps. for those who are unaware, the Good Times 'virus' is fake, meaning
it won't hurt your hardware or software, but is as bad as a 'real' virus, as
the warning propagates around, taking up bandwidth, disk space, and
most importantly, people's time (and here I'm doing it again...)
