URGENT [Re: exception]

[Jeremy Carroll]

I have had a lot of viruses on mailing lists recently - one that was
supposedly from me on W3C RDF Core WG, another supposedly from a colleague
on a yahoo group. As far as I can tell the masquerading e-mail was not from
any of my machines - the headers vanished into the mists at some point.
