Chain mail

No, not the armour  evil: 
Someone I used to have a bit of time for and indeed respected his judgement has just sent me a chain email requesting that it be passed on to 20 people... for good luck to arrive of course  ::)

Some of you might have had it too, I guess; a powerpoint file about a Chinese proverb  noooo:

I've checked on 't interweb and it may contain a virus but not sure coz the Mac doesn't usually suffer.  B@stardo!

Unfortunately running the magazine my email is well known and appears on loads of other people's address books and when they cc everyone I get them. If I bar stuff from them at least I can fool myself that they will learn.

Email deleted along with attachment, 'friend' on caution in my book. For all I know the guy might have gone bankrupt and is desperate ~ I haven't heard from him in ages  rubschin:
