WebMath: WARNING: virus-infected post

While general discussion of viruses might be inappropriate, it is certainly NOT
inappropriate
on any list to warn of and discuss the finding of a virus in a posting to that
list.
I hope that June and other listadmins I deal with will continue to provide such
warnings.
Thanks.
