That can cut out all the guesswork and save loads of time and fretting.

*What is the water quality Tom?  NPK, turbidity, algaeal content, color,
smell, iron, & trace elements plants use... What amendments do you use?  =
When?
 How much.  Do you water-feed the plants only, or feed them detritus dire=
ctly
also?  How do you track it and what trends seem to be showing over the ti=
me
frame in question plus the that much amount of time earlier, (as symptoms=
 may
show after the fact, as plants run on reserves a while.)

With all the wonderful holiday greetings being exchanged over the internet,
increasing the potential for some of us to open attachments from familiar
addresses, I thought this notification might be timely.  I've verified this
with those I trust to keep up-to-date on dangers of this type, and pass
along to you the warning with an URL to check it out.

The first warning I saw stated:

>W32/NewApt is an email worm. AVERT has given it a risk 
>assessment of High--On Watch. 
>
>This worm arrives as an email attachment. The body of the 
>email appears differently depending on whether the email 
>client reads HTML. If it does, the email text looks like 
>this:

>       http://stuart.messagemates.com/index.html 
>
>    Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and 
>                      animations... 
>
>   We attached our recent animation from this site in our 
>                  mail ! Check it out 
>
>If the email client is not HTML-capable, the message reads: 
>
>  he, your lame client cant read HTML, haha. click 
>  attachment to see some stunningly HOT stuff 
>
>The worm is in the attachment, which has a name chosen 
>randomly from the following list: 
>
>  baby.exe, bboy.exe, boss.exe, casper.exe, chestburst.exe, 
>  cooler1.exe, cooler3.exe, copier.exe, cupid2.exe, 
>  farter.exe, fborfw.exe, goal.exe, goal1.exe, g-zilla.exe, 
>  irngiant.exe, hog.exe, monica.exe, panther.exe, 
>  panthr.exe, party.exe, pirate.exe, s.exe, saddam.exe, 
>  theobbq.exe, video.exe. 
>
>If the worm is run, the following dummy error message 
>appears: 
>
>  The dinamic link library giface.dll could not be found in 
>  the specified path [list of directory names] 
>
>Note the misspelling of the word "dynamic". 
>
>If the worm detects that Outlook Express is installed, it 
>will search for messages received and build a list of 
>addresses. The next time Windows is booted, the worm waits 
>an unspecified amount of time and then attempts to send 
>itself to one of the addresses in its list, using the 
>format described above. 

then a confirmation:

>Paula,
>I've sent you the exact worm definition on this virus.  You should
>definitely post a notice and direct your clients not to open any attachments
>with the following names:
>
>g-zilla.exe, cooler3.exe, cooler1.exe, copier.exe, video.exe, pirate.exe,

>chestburst.exe, panther.exe, theobbq.exe, goal.exe, baby.exe, bboy.exe,
>cupid2.exe, fborfw.exe, casper.exe, irnglant.exe, or gadget.exe 
>
>All of these have been found to contain the virus.

These well-intentioned warnings often soak up more bandwidth than the original virus! The only person who should post virus warings to a system is the person responsible for it. In this case I think that's Jim. Vik :v) (Official Virus Slayer & Sysop to ECONZ Ltd.)
