Thank you for your post.  It should be printed on a label and pasted to 
all the keyboards sold.

                        INTERNET WARNING
 
There's a lot of weird stuff out there. Here's the latest list to
watch for as you go on your merry way.
 
 
Netscape 3.0 beta 4B - The mail system gives problems, and leaves
open POP server daemons running (forever-ish) on many systems.
Try using a dedicated mail client like Pegasus or Eudora until they
have this little bug fixed. Overuse of Netscape's mail is causing
systems to become jammed.
 
 
 
GOOD TIMES Virus - This is a hoax.  The warning is actually just
another kind of chain letter, designed to get you to send it to
everyone you know.  Don't!  Ignore it.
 
 
MAKE MONEY FAST/FASTCASH/ETC.. - Ignore what they tell you about
trying to make it legal by saying 'put me on your mailing list
and similar garbage. This is still wire-fraud, and attracts severe
penalties in Australia and America. Like the chain-letters above
ignore them.  Any statistician can tell you that it can't possibly
work, anyway. If you sit down and do the sums, you'll find out
that more than double the population of the earth has to
participate for you to get even a small fraction of the money the
claim.  Besides, the addresses are all bogus, except for the
occasional fool who thinks it's a good idea. If you do this
you'll almost certainly lose your net access
 
 
Be careful out there...
