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. ===== John Hebert 'cat /dev/random | perl' __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
