Subject: JPEG Virus

Well I am always careful with what comes with this list. Pretty much 
anything
that has come so far hasn't been "spring loaded". But if one is a "duh, 
uh I just
 click on anything in front of me..."  I mean teenaged friends kind of 
think I am
being a snarly old dude because I want them to label their cute little 
multiattachment
letters of kitty cat pictures with something. I do worry about that 
problem...target
something at a community, make it look like standard stuff that gets 
passed around
in that community and that would be a good way tp start spreading stuff.

Have Fun,
