I should also note that Barracuda just solidified the fact that it will never make it on my list (not that it ever would have).

I think that one of the layers of our anti-spam and anti-virus on our Email server is Barracuda, so I forwarded this to the guy who runs it.  He's usually pretty good, so I bet he's already on top of it, but you never can be too safe.

+1 Ric.  Thank you!

An easy one, but one of my favorite old 80s movies.  Pretty funny to watch now, though! 

+1 for Steven.

You're welcome guys (and I mean guys in the generic sense ;)

We all keep our ears to the ground and it helps everyone to share info like this when we find it.

Nice to see it was so appreciated.  :)
