I know some of you will have got a spam message from my Yahoo account
today, and I want to apologise.

Even though I've got full antivirus protection on my computer, it
seems that some hacker somewhere has found a way into my Yahoo account
and sent out messages to everybody in my very extensive address book.
I've had the account for more years than I care to remember and so
have written to a lot of people - and it looks like I've sent more
messages now than I should have!

I've moaned to Yahoo about it and really don't want to have to abandon
that account, but may be forced to if this is going to happen.

Once again, my sincere apologies to anybody who got a message entitled
'Hope Good Mood'. Please delete it and mark as spam - but then do
check in the future in case I send you anything genuine from that
account (unlikely under the circumstances!) that may subsequently end
up in your spam/junk folder.

Hanging head - unclean! :¬(

It was a worm. I think I got it when I ordered some Panacur for a
friend's EC bunny from an online pharmacy! Apt when I was buying a
wormer to have got a worm, eh? It wiped every single email address in
my contacts list. Thankfully after a bit of a delay, Yahoo
technicians helped me get them all back - but sent probably as many
emails as the worm did in the process!

Panacur is fenbendazole. It began life as a horse wormer but has been
found to be very effective against e-cuniculi in rabbits.

Our Yahoo group is UK Companion rabbits. The url is
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/UK-Companion-Rabbits/ I'm sure
you're still there, aren't you? If you open it and find it doesn't
have a 'Join This Group' button in the top right corner, then you're
already a member. If the button is there, then yes please do rejoin.
