Deibutfeif, Re: Anthrax

I agree it's way overblown, and you, John, and Elmer have certainly been the voice of reason on this issue.

Though I'm glad Microsoft officials were on their toes in responding to the suspicious letter.

It's a good idea for cos to establish a separate receiving area for mail, etc. (which most cos do anyway) and inform folks on what exactly to watch out for.

RE: "I wish the media would be more responsible "

I think they're trying their best, though sometimes errors of speed do occur. MSNBC had a headline title early yesterday morning that was inaccurate, and in this particular case it could have been somewhat inciting. I asked if they could correct for accuracy and within 15 minutes they did. I was very impressed with both their evident sense of responsibility for accuracy and their timeliness. It's difficult to convey information in a limited amount of space and time.

Remember a year ago, when our major concern was a 25% drop in INTC? So much in one year has happened to give one perspective on what's really important.
