I'm sorry, but nonsense statements such as these burn the blood.
Sure, yes, protecting yourself is so much more important than
protecting anyone else.
Anyone else want to stand up and join the "I am an asshole" club?
"I'm an a??hole!" :o)
(lotsa folks get corporate "bad words" filters, here).
Seriously though, everyone should take care of their own end first.
The problem is Jo doesn't seem to be in the loopon attacks from
recent years, but I am unsure he would change his mind if he was/
Gadi,
Do you really want to suggest to people that they not implement BCP38?
