[Javascript] Virus Warning...

[Chris Tifer]

Oh, I've goteen hundreds of these in the past 2-3 days but I haven't seen
your name at all. My joke site user's apparently don't believe in Anti-Virus
and believe they actually SHOULD open things like that. So now
webmaster at emailajoke.com is getting it's address drug through the mud by the
simple-minded.
