I'm not sure who's dealing with the Shadowrn FAQ these days seeing as
Dvixen temporarily appears to be without a connection.

I believe we are coming up to that time of year where new people will be
joining the list, and there's a good chance that we'll go through the
usual rash of hoax virus alerts.

Adam? Somebody else. Is there a way maybe (I know nobody reads the FAQ
but...) to add just a little note into the Srn FAQ concerning Hoax
viruses and listing them?

The current list is:

3b Trojan (alias PKZIP Virus)
AOL4Free Virus Hoax
Baby New Year Virus Hoax
BUDDYLST.ZIP
BUDSAVER.EXE
Death69
Deeyenda
E-Flu
FatCat Virus Hoax
Free Money
Ghost
Good Times
Hairy Palms Virus Hoax
Irina
Join the Crew
Millenium Time Bomb (new 1998)
Penpal Greetings
Red Alert
Returned or Unable to Deliver
Time Bomb
Very Cool (new 1998)
Win a Holiday
World Domination Hoax


Just a thought. Ignore me at your will. :)

IIRC the FAQ list a couple of the major ones (Good Times) and has links
to web sites that keep track of these.

It's gonna happen anyway :)

It does, but a list in the FAQ might be a quicker way to mention it as
some people don't have web access with their mail.

Oh I know that, but one just has to try. ;)

Ah, you're refering to the Northern Barbarians ;)

Do me a favor and email that list to me again (privately). I was a
twonk and deleted your earlier post.
