I agree with both of you and just received it too. I also deleted the message and want to take this moment to remind you to make sure you have the most current version of any virus checker on your system.
With all of us passing along items from our computers and our email addresses going in and out of email address books, beware that there are some viruses out there that pick up email addresses out of an address book, and make a email look like it came from a known person, thus carrying the virus onto another system.
Just a side note - I have macintosh computer, not a PC, therefore it would be very unlikely that you get a virus from me since people usually do not mess with the macs since we make up such a small percentage of the computers.
Don't let this knowledge frighten you, but let it be a reminder to always stay up to date with your virus checker.
I just got something similar a few minutes ago. I just deleted and blocked it. It appears that someone has decided to use this site for their own gain. I am totally opposed to it.

Just wondering how many of you got an email today that starts . . . .
Dear parent or educator,
I would like to take a few minutes of your time to introduce you to my
website
I very much appreciate that we are able to share ideas through the site, on the discussion board, and by having our email addresses available to one another . . . but this one bugged me.
