Special note on viruses:
No, we are NOT sending you virus emails! There are many email "worms" that fake the return address, and unfortunately this site's email address is being used on some viruses and worms in that way. See this article for information on how to find the real culprit -- usually a third party who has your email address and mine in their address book or internet cache: http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa081903d.htm
