I agree Katherine....I will still do my best to keep this list "on topic" and I really don't want people announcing every new virus that comes down the pike....but when it comes to serious security updates from Microsoft, as you can see, I never pop in and yell "this is off topic"...becuz I agree that people need to be warned about this stuff Linda F.

Greg, you seem a little concerned about seeming to be off topic. I don't use the affected operating system (as you know) but I am thrilled to be notified by you through this list about the security vulnerabilities of Windows, as I'm in the address books of lots of people who do use Windows! I have forwarded your alerts on to people I care about and I am thankful for it. Most folks don't go to the microsoft website very often, and that's part of why security alerts seem to be ignored and vulnerabilities remain. You are doing a service, and PLEASE don't stop. We NEED to change the culture vis a vis security, and you are a vanguard in that fight. And...I got your back! -- Katherine Driskell Felts ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
