Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Steve sounds panicky before panic has hit. I have not seen any Hi Darling message. I delete such messages immediately. Everyone must do irrespective of who sends it. I had a good friend who read TulasiRamayana with me. He somehow believed that some evil forces were following him. The forces were never resolved except we learned that he carried large sums of money in person. It's possible that various forces show up as viruses. I do get a few. Mine comes coated in the name of Microsoft. Do others get virus mails from an address with Microsoft? BM On Tue, 11 Nov 2003, Rajan P.
