Protect Yourself

A reminder to watch out for computer viruses. I received today an e-mail with the sending address of the Washington Post Post ombudsman (ombudsman@washpost.com). He has never written to me, and I've never written to him. The message had all the classic signs of a virus message: The subject line was "test" and it had a 31k attachment. I just deleted it without opening it. (I'm sure it's not actually from Michael Getler or the Post.)

If you've sent me a message without a personalized subject line in the past couple of months, it's probably been deleted without opening. Safety first... Because Roger cares.

Oh, and use a prophylactic too. And a seatbelt. And put a coat on.
