Someone is trying to mail out a virus to members of the reflector using my 
call sign. I guess there is no end to what some of these sick fools will try 
to do.
If you get an email with the following header on it....delete it 
immediately...DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT....According to my virus detection 
program the attachment entitled 10_beacons.txt.exe has a worm attached.

Someone went to the trouble of creating an email account at Yahoo for the 
express purpose of mailing out this virus.....I do not have a Yahoo email 
account.
I am sorry this vicious person has used my call sign for this purpose, and 
although he will likely never be found....he will eventually answer for his 
actions.....and I would not want to be him.
I will for the life of me never understand people like the one who has done 
this.
Maybe a jealous competitor...hi hi
