I just received this sad note:

Hi Everyone;
Lori Beckerton and Denis Hamel recently sent out messages to several of the club members that were in their address books. I'm guessing that either their webmail accounts were hacked, or some trojan virus was downloaded into their PC's. Just a cautionary message not to click on the attached hyperlinks.
Personally, I make it a point not to click on anything without some type of explanation of what it is.
(I'm not talking about one of those "Click here to see amazing things" messages either).
