Dear All
I am glad that the message about the Pretty Park.exe virus was not a spoof.
Those experienced internet users among the list will appreciate that 99% of
such messages ARE FICTICIOUS - even if this one wasn't. They are designed
to catch-out inexperienced email users, who send them on to their entire
mailing lists not knowing that they are spurious.
Therefore, as a matter of policy, I would be most grateful if list member
DO NOT send such messages to the road-transport-technology list. If you
feel it necessary to post such a messge, then please send it directly to me
([log in to unmask]) and NOT TO THE LIST. I will check it out, and post it
on the list if it turns out to be legitimate.
Thanks for your help with this.
-David Cebon
