I agree with you. It's absolutely silly to run the messenger service
in a stand alone machine at home. Granted, one should NOT get on the
net without a firewall and virus software, however, some of the
remarks I've seen from so called informed posters regarding the
messenger service are just plain out of line.
I advise everyone who does not need the messenger service to turn it
off. BTW, you can't possibly take anything serious from lady
"Cerridwen". At least Mr. Chambers does offer some good advice once
in awhile......
Regards.
