Because I run a number of mailing lists devoted to genealogy research world-wide, it made a lot of sense for me to move to TB. It doesn't make sense for me to send the unwashed masses who currently are not protecting themselves to this program although I think they would greatly benefit. But they cannot dive into this without attending TB Kindergarten. I was willing, but even then I did not cut the umbilical cord to OE for four months, downloading mail to TB but not deleting on the server, downloading mail to OE with server deletions, until I was comfortable that I knew what the devil I was doing with TB (if any of us ever reach total comfort, let me know). In the meantime, every instance of a worm/virus hitting my inbox reminds me once again of the unwashed masses comprised of mainly retirees who populate the internet email system and how, in their innocence, they are as much involved in the propagation of worms and viruses as the creators. Although, to be honest, I think many of mine have come from business addresses and people who should know a lot better. I think TB is missing a BIG market for its product.
