    With the number of viruses that I receive that presumably come from some
    associate of mine who (a) has me in their address book and (b) is
    infected, I disbelieve that a white list of people who are vetted to be
    well-intentioned would be significantly useful.

    Now, a white list of people who are vetted to be well-intentioned and
    *not running Windows*, that would be useful :)
