Personally I just don't use IE/OE at work, and avoid windows altogether 
at home.  As a result the only computer viruses I have experienced in 
ten years were two Word Macro viruses.

You mean when we were cleaning up after virus attacks that actually did 
real damage to your machine and data?  The only real difference these 
days is the speed of propagation, and that due to the forged headers 
responsible net users are being affected as well.  The real crime here 
is that after 20 years the worlds #1 operating system vendor still 
refuses to take this issue seriously!

Now to attempt to bring this OT.  Has anyone considered introducing EW 
(along the lines of SG) in DS?	Can anyone point me at any house rules 
for this?
