Hm. Too concise (both of us ;-)

I'll give it a shot. By "you" I meant "user owl, i.e. any program running
under that user". Was that the unclear part?

I know. Just refining some points to keep in mind: not every "malware"
comes "directly" from the Internet. It may be through a malicious
USB stick; it may be that neat Emacs Lisp given to you, it may be
a PostScript file or a PDF, it may be (given suitable vulnerabilities)
a JPEG or a video.

But yeah, I'm all for "keep your eyes open, and whenever you miss
one of your feet, learn from it". I practice that myself :-)
