How Much Do We Trust Shared Online Docs?

I received a comment on my recent Firefox 3: Most Visited post the other day and it’s still sitting in the moderation queue as I wonder what to do with it. Most comments are easy to divide between spam and useful, but this one has caused me to stop and ponder.

It’s a link to a shared document over at Google Docs.

So now I have to wonder — is that a new virus / malware delivery mechanism? Or was the commenter honestly being helpful and linking me something he thought I’d want to see?

I’m probably not going to click the link, but I’ll always wonder…

What do you think? Do we need to be more cautious with online shared documents? Is there potential for using them to deliver bad stuff?
