Tigers,

Please pardon this lengthy WARNING, but it may help  from you getting a
really bad "stuff"

I just received the message  below through our Tiger.net.  Somehow, I
think I recognize the name  of the sender, "gswaybright", but am unable
to find any mail from him this  year.  It offered a "link" strangely
configured. 

"http://Xit.Xy/cyXZTG"  Note, this has been edited by  substituting some
"X"s instead of the original letters.

When I  clicked on it:

I got the notice from  "Bit.ly"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning,  this website may harm your computer icon
Stop - there might be a problem  with the requested link

The link you requested has been identified by  bit.ly as being
potentially problematic. We have detected a link that has  been shortened
more than once, and that may be a problem  because:

* Some URL-shorteners re-use their links, so  bit.ly can't guarantee
the validity of this link.
* Some  URL-shorteners allow their links to be edited, so bit.ly
can't tell where  this link will lead you.
* Spam and malware is very often  propagated by exploiting these
loopholes, neither of which bit.ly allows  for.

The link you requested may contain inappropriate content, or even  spam
or malicious code that could be downloaded to your computer without  your
consent, or may be a forgery or imitation of another website,  designed
to trick users into sharing personal or financial  information.
Bit.ly suggests that you

* Change the  original link, and re-shorten with bit.ly
* Close your  browser window
* Notify the sender of the URL

Or,  continue at your own risk to

I  am not saying that "Mr. Waybright" sent this, or it's a "spoof".  But 
you are pre-warned to be very careful!
If you receive a link formatted  as shown.
