Skype Worm Infects Windows PCs
walterbays writes with news of a worm spreading to Windows PCs through Skype's IM. The worm is variously called Ramex.a and Pykspa.d. A poster on a Skype forum explains how to remove it. "After hijacking contacts from an infected machine's Skype software, it sends messages to those people that include a live link. Recipients who blithely click on the URL — which poses as a JPG image but is actually a download to a file with the .scr extension — wind up infected."

Given your position of first post, I can't see how you could be anything but the first to point out this.
That is a good point, and I must admit I thought that as well ... at first. Then I started thinking, How long is something really first? Is something first always first? Like the first European to visit the Americas, Columbus. He was first, but only for 400 odd years before we discovered that the vikings were the first. Also, one can never be so certain that time travel will never exist. Therefore, all of our first records in any given field may be only temporary, before some one from the future comes back and does it first.
I applaud the gp's modesty, and four dimensional thinking. I think we should all be a little more considerate of our resources, both natural and produced, in light of the fact that they may belong to someone else before us, in the future.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
Ooh, a lesson in not changing history from mister "I'm-my-own-grandpa"!
