I've seen the older variation for months, that only sends itself by email, I
assumed this one didn't have Usenet capability either. Even if it does, I've
found that about 2/3 of the copies of it are generated by worried people
forwarding it to their friends. So I think it was well worth announcing that
this is fake, even if it wasn't send intentionally.
