Proof positive

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last week, we talked about how much people listen to outside IT people compared to internal people. Remember that?

This morning we have exhibit #1:

I got an email from one of my users. One of his business contacts had forwarded him an email about virus warnings that she had gotten from their IT Department.

I should give him credit for wanting to be helpful and pass along information that maybe I didn’t have, but I can’t.

The comments covered the same topic that I’ve covered with everyone here at least 2-3 times.
