I did not chime in after Sandy's first post, but I did agree. We should
trust our in-house IT people to keep us informed about real virus
threats. Many false threats are widely distributed quickly, and using a
technical list service to spread alerts about either real or false
threats is not a good practice. Let's talk about radiation safety here,
and you can watch the various virus alert and hoax pages for updates on
these topics.

I also really doubt that anyone is getting spam because someone grabbed
the Radsafe email database. We all get tons of spam regardless of our
participation on this list or not. Once that was widely publicized in a
Radsafe posting, however, I felt that it had become an open door that
needed to be shut.
