Here's my take on it: it's handy, when communicating with up-the-ladder management, to be able sometimes to point to an outside, objective source of information and of "on a scale of 1 to 10" ratings, because as we all know, it is often more effective to get a point across if you can show that (a) someone else is making it too, and (b) that it's part of a disciplined and concerted effort to place these vulnerabilities and states of siege in some kind of rational context. And especially since September 11, people are attuned to hearing states of affairs summed up as "level 1," "level 2," and so on. I myself find it useful to make points; for those readers who don't need or want it, there are always a handful of ways to systematically blow away unwanted mail that fits a pattern, whether it's to use Procmail and a regex expression to match-and-delete, or a filter in a POP/IMAP mailer like Eudora. My three cents, anyhow.... --tim o'connor
