[Rhodes22-list] Simple Virus Protection

[Bill Effros]

It is easy to spot bogus messages on the Rhodes list by following a simple rule Michael has drummed into our heads over the past 5 years:

Rule:  If it's spelled right, it's not coming from Michael.

Look at the message below.  Every word is spelled right.  Couldn't possibly be coming from Michael.  

And look at the silly password!  There is no way Michael could get that right twice in a row.  Michael's passwords are never total nonsense--they always mean something--and if you hang around long enough you can start to read them without the decoder ring.

Few realize that Michael writes the way he does for the protection of everyone on the list.  Thank you, Michael; we will never again be fooled by such a clumsy and obvious fraud as the one below.
