If I sent YOU a floppy disk would you stick it in your computer and run it?
The idea to _run_ a floppy disk... People who tink of inserting a
floppy-disk as 'running' should indeed not do 'complicated' tasks like
activating a virus scanner, opening an explorer, and having a look at
the _data_ on the floppy. Please search for the word 'run' appearing
anywhere in the last sequence... 0 occurences.

Martin, you clearly missed the intent of my post. Instead of focusing
on the three-letter word 'run' the point was that they cannot be
expected to maintain a staff of virus analysts to routinely do all the
'complicated' tasks you mention just because people send them a diskette
out of the clear blue. Thats why they ask for paper that the typical
office staff can manage. Simple.
