Just so you know, you couldn't have gotten a virus from the MV list. It's a
text only list, so it can't pass viruses, pictures, programs, etc.
Everyone can feel safe whilst reading about MVs!
.....well, unless you were reading the list on your wireless PDA while
driving your 5-ton in inner city traffic during a rainstorm after a local
sales event on Volvo's and Subaru's....but that's another story.
