Not to waste any more bandwidth on this silly thing, but I'd like to thank Wayne for including the text of Bad Times.  I'd received it a while back, but deleted it.  Been looking for that clever text, as I am CONSTANTLY spending billable hours doing nothing but reassuring members of my clientele that Guts/Jesus, Good Times, Join the Crew, etc. etc. are hoaxes.  In fact, I bill as much as $300 US per month doing nothing but typing such reassuring e-mails and including URL's for each of the major anti-virus and hoax research pages.  Of course, I continually fail to get people to think critically [trust NOTHING on the internet, except maybe for the contents of this digest... :-) ], but I try.

What a shame.  The real shame (and my personal pet peeve of the month) is when I get such an e-mail from a rightfully concerned user, but I'm the 80th person on the TO: list.

These hoaxes clog up bandwidth as badly as Melissa ever has.

Anyway, Wayne, thanks for the inclusion of that text.  Much as I hate to get snotty with any clients, I'm getting to the point where I'm going to start including it as my reply to the "warnings" I always receive.
