Subject: YKYBWTMFK

 (or maybe it's LEXX) When you're watching the Super Bowl half time show
and when Sting comes on you shout to your friends "Oh, my God, I can't
believe  how much he looks like Nigel!!!"   Especially Nigel as Prince.
Did anyone else notice that or am I really totally 'round the bend?

I can't see it, myself! I don't think they look at all alike, in any
way, except both have blond hair (that is, Nigel as Prince). But hey,
if it works for you...<g>

Subject: New Group (new faction?) Museumknighties

Hi Everyone:

After a night of thought and watching FK reruns
(and writing my AU fic), I decided to start a
faction for Nick and Alyce Hunter.  It's called
Museumknighties.  For more information and/or to
join, please see this URL:

Group home page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/museumknighties

If anyone has any questions, they can email me
off list.

Thanks

David

Subject: Update to the FKFF2 planned...

So you all know what that means...(cue ominous music)...

Send me fics!!!

I plan on posting the update within the second week of Feb, so that gives
everyone roughly two weeks to send me your writings. I have already emailed a
few of my authors to let them know of problems with their fics/series, so if
you've noticed something 'fishy' with your fic online and I haven't said
anything about it, please mail me because I prolly haven't found it yet.

For those of you who want to, I have a submissions page up now,
http://www.fkfanfic2.com/submit.htm And I have added a search page (it's still a
little weird, but it does work) http://www.fkfanfic2.com/search.htm

Should I add any more areas to the site? If you have an idea, please email me
and I'll see what I can do. Oh, and apologies for not updating sooner. Life has
been complete hell here and I'm lucky to survive, so I had to let the site sit
for a while, but I'm going to attempt an orderly update if I can. Okaaay, think
that about covers it, don't you? Don't forget to SEND ME FICS! :)

Looks like it was Illya Woloshyn. Check out
www.loftworks.com/FK/Episodes/Season_1/113.html for the cast list for
Father Figure, and then www.northernstars.ca/actorsvz/woloshyn.html for
his birthdate. Ta-da!

Subject: OT: possible virus, check your systems

Sorry to bother everyone, but I received this notice about a virus possibly
passed on to my computer. I in fact DID find the virus on my computer, so
this is REAL and it's a real possibility that it may have passed to here,
and so to all of you. Sorry about this, though I may have caught it in time.

It is NOT real! The file is part of your operating system (JAVA) I think.

As stated in the rules McLisa posts each week, do not post OTs here without
checking with her or Don first ;-) I just mention this as McLisa and Don may be
at work and I don't want anyone to accidently delete the file. I've fallen fer a
few thingees loik this meself.

for more info on it, please check: www.snopes.com

Now, back to me normal Ratpackery nature <g> If ya want a REAL virus, Oi'm sure
the Ratpack will sell ya one fer a shiny pretty.

Subject: Re: possible virus, check your systems

This virus is a hoax. There is no need to check your systems.  Everyone will
find it because it's part of your operating system if you have Microsoft
products.  This is what McAfee.com has to say about it:

AVERT HOAX Notice!!

McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.

This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may become
infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly W32/Magistr@MM), the
details of this HOAX message are not based on actual events.

We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO NOT
pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.

JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. This application
is only useful for Java developers and does not need to be restored on other
user's systems. In the event that this file has already been deleted and you
need to restore it, see the Removal Instructions for instructions.
It uses this icon:

Subject: Re: OT: possible virus, check your systems

Monica,  I hate to tell you this but that wasn't a
virus.  It's a Microsoft Debugger Registrar for JAVA.
It's part of the system files.  I got caught by emails
like this one before so now I go and check properties
of programs like this before removing it.  It will
tell you when it was created, last modified and last
accessed.  If it was created a while back and has been
sitting in your computer for months or years, chances
are the email is a hoax.  If I'm wrong, somebody
please tell me, but I'm at work checking my computer
here and it has that program and it was created in
March of 2002, which is the date it was put into this
machine.
