Um, I take offense at either definition.

Presuming that you're misusing `blatant' and are simply objecting to the lack
of qualifiers, my attitude will not alter a key fact: knackering this list
down to text-only no-attachments 10k-or-less will not prevent Windows users
from getting email viruses. In fact, it may even be ineffective for
preventing virii arriving _through_the_knackered_list_, who knows what
pattern-matching Outlook does on plain text?
If nobbling the list that much won't be of significant assistance to anyone, I
question the value of handicapping the list at all.
As far as attitude goes, my attitude is that multi-choice sucks when compared
to freedom. It's not as if we _need_ our choices restricted any further, is
it?
Cheers; Leon
