That nice, and all, but there are hundreds like this.  You can solve them
all
in one motion by just telling people "Don't run attachments, damnit!"

I just wish it would work...  We are doomed so long as people continue
to act like cattle, and Microsoft continues to furnish the tools to cause
havok.

I don't see either of those things changing any time soon. :(

(Well, that is, /we/ aren't doomed.  We're smarter than that!)
