*As others say, this is so obviously a hoax that I'm surprised anyone
*would fall for it (just think about what it says). However, you have
*fallen into the trap by obeying the first sentence: the object of the
*idiots who perpetrate this kind of thing is they hope to create a
*snowball effect of e-mail messages until the Internet grinds to a halt,
*causing maximum inconvenience. This is the "virus" and you have helped
*to propagate it: thanks a lot!
