Jane, I'm not sure what you're talking about, specifically, but it 
sounds like you may have accidentally distributed a virus. Is this the 
happy99.exe I keep seeing in files from so many people? If so, and if 
all of those people get off the lists, we'll never get any information 
shared!

Whatever it is, please don't remove yourself from the lists because of 
this. It is not your fault! No one has to open an attached .exe--it is 
their choice to do so, and their responsibility. Viruses can come from 
anywhere: email, web pages, applications, etc. It's only your fault if 
you purposely tried to infect others--which I can't imagine your doing!

If someone has written you nasty emails because of this, please write 
them back and tell them to get bent. (Or use more colorful language, if 
you like!) Blame can only be placed on the person who chose to open an 
unknown executable file.


I sincerely apologize to all whom I unknowingly infected recently.  I 
am
>wiser today than yesterday and will never again innocently open an 
attached
>email unless it contains a full explanation of its contents.  I am 
removing
>myself from all mailing lists so that I will never again be the cause 
of so
>much hurt to so many wonderful people.
