Clicking on links in this group?

Lack of knowledge oft time causes fear. If a poster shows a link in
the text of his/her posted message, am i not to first think before I
click on it? Why couldn't some of the nasties I often see on groups
(not Dell)throw in a bad virus in that link?

Is it trust and go ahead...or toss a coin? or anything else you may
share with me. I just don't feel safe clicking on links.

Eh what?
