yes, exactly why is this concept so hard to get?
im presuming that the majority of complaintants
are either not very security minded to begin with,
or are complete n00bs ( joned the list cuz they
saw it was on CNN ). i like attatchments, whether
they are PoC, viri, worm, pdf, etc etc. i like the choice
to choose.
btw: i use Microsoft products [OE] to post to this list,
and have never got any "virus or worm" or anything
else i didnt want. and i do not run any AV nor filtering
nor firwall to this box. 
am i missing something here?
 because i realy do not see the issue.
