Subject: Another Hoax: VIRUS WARNING

Once again I must remind subscribers NOT to pass on virus warnings to this
list. This particular warning, like most that we see, is a hoax that first
appeared in January 1999.

Our topic is fisheries science, not computer viruses, and with over 50,000
viruses out there and dozens of hoaxes, the list could be shut down by a
clutter of well-meaning but irrelevant and unnecessary messages.

An exception could be made for viruses that seem to target the fisheries
community specifically, but these are extremely rare.

You can learn more about virus hoaxes by consulting the websites of the
major producers of inti-virus software, such as
http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp?
