[RC] This is not true/OT - Amber Roberts

I forwarded this note from RideCamp to my brother, who works with computers for a living, and asked if this was true.  His answer:

No

From RideCamp:

I have noticed some ad emails on ridecamp that look
like they were the result of viruses.  I had this same
problem until someone gave me the cure.  It goes as
follows:

Open your address book.  Click on "new contact".  In
name window type "A".  For screen name or email
address type AAAAAAA@xxxxxxx.  The name "A" will be
placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm starts when it tries to
send itself to everybody.  It will be undeliverable
because it is a phony address.  It fails and goes no
further.
