Not really what I meant I guess.  What I meant was that your virus rejection
would go to an innocent bystander, regardless of what phase you were
rejecting, and that "innocent bystander" could be one of my clients, who had
nothing to do with the virus.  I was just simply stating that it was
frustrating to field the calls by the bystanders who have no clue what the
rejection means or why they got it.  Not that I let a virus through -- I was
referring to the rejection notice.  Sure, viruses get through every now and
again, but we keep our definitions up-to-date, no problems there.
