-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Dear AOL Postmaster: The message below has apparently been circulating quite widely. Personally I doubt the authenticity of the claim, and strongly suspect that it's just an annoying attempt to create a chain letter. In any event, it would be handy to hear some sort of statement from AOL about this matter to stem the tide of largely unproductive speculation on various mailing lists. I'm cc:ing this to the cypherpunks list <cypherpunks@toad.com>, and encourage you to cc: your reply to the list. I recommend posting some sort of announcement to the comp.virus newsgroup as well. Thanks very much for your time. - -L. McCarthy <lmccarth@cs.umass.edu> Forwarded message:
