Although each group does extensively check and recheck the masters
for viruses, this doesn't prevent some boneheads at the mastering
company from infecting it. :-) (no names, of course)

I would also caution Brain to watch the common tendancy to
place for-profit "user groups " (used _very_ lightly) in with
non-profit groups that provide real services and have real
meetings with discussions of real intersting stuff.
