Hello ebeyone in netland... IM a sysop of a BBS located in Wash. Dc, and
as I came home tonight I found that a user had uploaded this small text
file. I dont know if he gives any hints as to HOW to undo what he plans to
"DO" to us with this VIROUS that he has created.. basicly it sounds like
a joke, but I figure if it IS NOT a joke that making people aware of what
is to come is my duty... anyway here it is.. if you dont like dirty
words and such. hit n NOW!

If you are reading this you have no doubt recieved my wrath. This is my
revenge on those who treated me as an indian untouchable, an Irishman in
England, a black in a town of rights:It is my revenge on those Amiga owners
who treated me like this:My memories are a torture, my reality a nightmare:
now, so is yours.
I'll tell you, as is tradition, in the land of Ireland,
why I have done this to you, and even, how it works.
I got my ideas on how I shall write this virus, unlike others, it is fatal.
Fatal.
I got many of my ideas from Frank Herbert(a genius)'s The White Plague. It
is fitting due to my Irish background. While the results are visual(you will
get a message) most are physical. Depend on it.
As you may know, there is know way I can damage your system, ahh, but
the treasure lies in your disks, your wealth of knowledge.
Remember the Banshee when I tell you this: My vengence WILL be upon
all who scorned me. With this you are mine. There is no cure, exorcism
or Install(in very fact, this is how I my virus is transmitted. Better
get a new Install from your workbench source disk Hahhaha...!!)
SYSOPS: Do not attempt to sterilize your systems from my uploads, I shall
tell you once and only once:You cannot withstand me--you, with your
wealth of storage, on those unsafe, unprotected harddisks will recieve
a special strain if I find you have betrayed my trusts.
Do not risk the realization of my wrath. My virus combines a disk
destroyer(deletes files) and adds itself to all disks, in addition to every
program you run. Boot block editors will not find it fools!
Nor will Vcheck! Viewboot or Xvirus! You must live with my revenge.
Or lose everything you have:This is my tale of revenge.
BEWARE:I have added a mutation factor to my virus!! Running any of the
above programs makes my programs 10x more virulent!
I do not use the boot block, but my program is invisible. How?? Maybe
someone will be bright enough to find out how.. I don't doubt it,
but by then, my revenge will have spread across the community.
Pirates beware:I hate you! You're the slime on cold city
streets tearing at my mind as I drive
to the office you rob .
You know now why u have eaRned my anger! DO NOT QUESTION IT!
May the hearthstone of hell be his bedrest forever!
-Old irish curse
It is a human requirement to hate those we have wronged, regardless of which
came first.
And as you hate me I hate you as you hate me as I hate those who attack that
of which And I shall have Vengence!
death.

Hey, All you Amiga owners might get of fon this one:
"Hey everybody, why does Jack Tramiel wrap his Gerbil in duct tape?"
"So it doesn't explode and redecorate the room when he but fucks it"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wee anyway, there it is.. I hope this guy has NOT infected my BBS in any way..
but it looked like he logged in as a real user and just uploaded it..
BTW, he wasnt stupid enough to leave a real number.. but BBS-PC cant detect
that 000-000-0000 is prob. not the guys real number.
