Folks,
Our servers were hit with a number of email messages this morning containing the
Kama Sutra virus. If you see any of the following characteristics in your email

The sender is indicated as "prasad_j_2000".
The Kama Sutra virus will infect your computer when you attempt to open the attachment
and lie dormant in your computer until the 3rd of every month when it
will wreak havoc, just to go to sleep again until the following month.
Read more about it on Norton's site: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blackmal.e@mm.html
If you believe you have been infected, the removal tool can be found here:

Nico,
I just saw this e-mail, sorry for the slow response.
At the annual Fly-Ins the guys/gals who get there early - mainly Captain Jim
Bob and basically everyone else who is there before you arrive - judge your
taxing. Whoever does the ugliest job of it, which apparently I did in 2005
at Marina, CA, wins the dang thing.
>From what I can tell - it's all political, there is nepotism involved,
price-fixing, bribery, and all other kinds of orneriness. The only good
thing for 2006 - my hanger is next to Commander-Aero and the only way I can
win it back to back is if they include "planes being parked by a tug!"
Just to be safe, I think I'll just have it parked outside Commaner Aeros's
hanger the day before JB gets there.
Bob Steele

Great history, Bob.
What's the golden rudder award, Bob?
Pardon my ignorance.
