Chris Linfoot posted a nice little elaboration/corollary to my recent Show-n-Tell Thursday $KeepPrivate post. He provides a scenario where $KeepPrivate makes sense. As he states...

It is sometimes necessary to send an email to all or a large subset of all users, warning about some new security issue. This should very rarely be called upon - you should certainly not email all users just because there's a new variant of Sobig (1) circulating - but it cannot be ruled out entirely.


More details at the entry, so go read it. Good stuff.

1 - Your link to Chris' site seems to be missing the - between Chris and Linfoot at the moment. Would be a shame if this should stop newbies from having a peek.

2 - Good catch - fixed!
