OT: Computer Viruses (was Re: ATTN Brett)

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

ok well i dont think I caught anything. I dont use outlook. I view my mail 
from hotmail directly. I didnt mean to imply that Bretts computer was 
infected either. I jsut htought that it might be prudent to let him know 
that I got a bigass email with nothing in it from majordomo
