thank you for your response. and i am sure you are right about the majority of machines being safe. what does trouble me as a practical matter, since I do use the internet to exchange information (and do e-commerce with other people's Apache servers) is that there is little difference to the net effect on my personal security whether a vulnerability exists on my end or in transmission or on someone else's machine because I cannot remediate my threat. Yet I very much appreciate your re-enforcing the idea that the home user's machine remains robust and functional.
