Which, I'd argue, is among other things to furnish security professionals with fresh samples of viruses, etc, at least if they're particularly interesting ones, for us to dissect, enjoy, or employ in checking or tuning our filters. Having not much time for that sort of thing I just stick mine in a zoo, or have the filters do it (oh, ugh. It's getting to be about a gigabyte now. Must eliminate duplicates one of these days), but who knows. I might be siezed some morning by a fit of desire to actually look at one of these, and it's nice to have some handy, just in case. Keep up the good work, list managers, and don't listen to Mr. Evron!
