Subj: Last of Good Times
Hello, Chris!
I saw this last night in the VIRUS echo. In the spirit of technical cooperation so common to Fidonet, I thought I'd forward it to you for inclusion in the next Fidonews. It contains the latest information on that scourge of the e-mail system, the "Good Times" virus. The latest research, quoted below, demonstrates that this virus is FAR MORE dangerous then people had been led to believe!

Hi Guys,
I know that this isn't a humor conf and neither do I think viruses are funny, but after a spate of Good Times Virus Warnings I thought I might share this with you. No hate mail pleez - Just enjoy.
"Goodtimes will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.
It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.
Goodtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card..
It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Goodtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.
It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
Goodtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.
Listen to me. Goodtimes does not exist.
It cannot do anything to you. But I can. I am sending this message to everyone in the world. Tell your friends, tell your family. If anyone else sends me another E-mail about this fake Goodtimes Virus, I will turn hating them into a religion. I will do things to them that would make a horsehead in your bed look like Easter Sunday brunch.

Bob:
Do you think you can give us all in Z1 a "State of the Zone " message.
At least let us know what you intend to do in the next year concerning the coordination of Zone 1.
Thanks Bob
