It is always best to check into these warnings before passing them on. The
very act of passing the warning round millions of people is often the
hoaxer's main aim. The increased internet traffic and degraded web server
performance caused by passing these messages on is the "virus". Nearly all
of the people who pass on these messages do so with the best of intentions.

Dear Ian

I know you are right. In this case however, the warning was preceeded by a
telephone call from the one who sent it to me. He said he had had troubles
with it. At that moment I was in a great hurry, so I just sent it around,
well aware of what you write. That, BTW, is also the reason I didn't
translate it. I am sorry for those who got the Dutch version, I hope they
will have understood the intention.

Next time better, I hope

Rien
