You are right, I was wrong.

Last night I played waay too much Half-Life into the
wee hours burning off steam from fighting MyDoom on a
MS-Exchange box all day; my testosterone level was
high, and wife just left on an extended business trip.

I meant to be civil and reasonable in my reply to your
email explaining your hypothesis that Microsoft is
behind the MyDoom worm based on your observation that
Microsoft could be shown statistically to be keeping a
list of email addresses of Linux zealots as potential
targets but using its own Microsoft Outlook as a virus
delivery vector.

But somewhere along the way I lost it, and stepped
over the line. I am sorry and I should not have done
that. If I got personal, I didn't mean to do so. My
only intent was to try to get you to consider what you
were saying from a critical and logical perspective.

I do want to say that part of the scientific process
does involve peer review. I think of everyone on the
mailing list as peers and I consider this to be an
open forum for discussion. Therefore, we must take
responsibility for what we say here. I just did.

I'm sorry and I apologize.
