Hi folks,
I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to start this flurry, nor to panic anyone else,
I guess a second or two more thought would have made me word my posting a
little better...
I tend to mail the sender of any e-mails that I get that have links or
attachments with wording that could have been put together to sound genuine but
be vague, checking that they truly did mean to send the link/attachment, much
as George very wisely did with his wife!
Anyway, again, I'm sorry folks.
Barry G

George, I take your point, but I think there comes a point where there's the
possibility of an awful lot of crying wolf going on. I mean, we're all free
not to open messages or click on links that we don't like the look of, but I
think we need to be a little bit wary of saying "just because I don't like
the look of this I'm going to tell everybody else not to do it" when for all
we know the link or message provided may be perfectly innocent.
Cheers.
Alex
