I had the same message from another news group yesterday about "Good Times"
- followed by several "Good Times - urban myth" messgaes.  According to
these "Good Times" is a very successful virus....in as much as it has
generated massive amounts of mail world-wide (to which people like myself
add to) i.e. it isn't real.  I also seem to remember the same thread at
least 6 months ago - I heard of no infections as a result.

Having said all this I received a "Good Times" message at the end of
yesterday - I dumped it immediately - I have an open mind about other urban
myths (Surrey Panther, Loch Ness Monster, Newt G.) so why not this? ;-)
