We have an online Suggestion Box that the Executive Director answers every few months. The most classic question of all came a few years ago when anthrax was being mailed and the government released guidelines on how to spot a suspicious package. Here's the question...

"I was wondering if the IT department could advise us whether it is possible to get anthrax from email. I know that emails are usually more vulnerable to viruses than bacteria, but it's been keeping me awake at night worrying about it."



Oh, yeah.

I give the then-ED credit, though...he mentioned that he knew this could be a joke, but he was going to answer it seriously just in case, and went on to explain how e-mail viruses differ from real viruses.
