I've gotten 3 copies of this message now from totally different
sources. I don't know if reading a message on American On-Line can erase
your hard drive, but I doubt it. Downloading won't either, although
running it might. Copies of this message (and several variants) 
are circulating all over the country, through many different channels; 
several copies came to me directly via Internet; obviously an Internet 
email message can't erase your hard drive.

Does anyone have any evidence that there is any substance behind this
message? It's certainly wasting a lot of time & bandwidth in many places.
