What th'?: "This message may not have been sent by"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Only from ADS-L, though I haven't gotten anything from anywhere else today.

Thanks to all. I was concerned it was some Supervirus or something in my

My updated security, however, says all is well at this end.

Not that that means a whole lot these days.

Thanks, John, Jesse, Wilson, & Eric.
