I don't agree.
Posting Virus warning to a mailing list like this _can_ be a good
idea, as long as they are *VALID*.
The Cat Colonic hoax has been going on for quite some time and is
to be found on all major Anti-Virus site, categorized as such!
The content of the Cat Colonic mail makes it obvious it's a hoax.
C'mon guys, crashing an aquarium ? Not possible unless it's an
IP drive one <G>
I'ts IMHO not smart to blindly post that kind of messages anywhere
you can, *before* checking with the major AV providers to see if
it't not listed as a hoax...
Well, that's my 2 cent's worth.
