While removing the offender from the list may not be called for, I don't agree that it "wasn't his fault". We're all supposed to be programmers here, most of whom are supposed to be professionals. We represent the 98th to 100th percentile of all internet users. We, of all people, should be aware of such problems, and be the first to use common sense and take the necessary precautions. We should be the ones who know best the dangers of opening attachments and being careless on the net. I guess I take a hard line, but to me, when folks on lists like these repeatedly (and I don't mean any one individual does it repeatedly, but repeatedly we see folks on the list get infected) - I guess I have a hard time understanding that. Nobody on this list is any busier than me. But I still feel it's part of my job/profession to keep up on the latest security problems (and I'm a developer - not a systems person) and be aware. Folks should subscribe to a few e-zines that will alert you right away when the worms, viruses and the like hit, so you can update your anti-virus and be aware of what you might see in your email. Accidents can and do happen. And when they do, the ARE our fault. There's no excuse . . .
OK - I'm off my soap box.
