I never wanted anyone to think that he (of all people!) was perpetuating a
hoax - I wanted to merely back up what he wrote, in that the Melissa virus
made the CERT Advisories, and as such, should be treated very seriously.

Recommendation:  Disable all Word Macros - and for those using beta
Word2000's, set Macro security to either Medium (Prompt) or High (Disable).

Sorry for the misunderstanding...
