Err, sounds fair to me. If it weren't for idiot IIS admins right now
(not a personal attack against you), I wouldn't be wasting a hell of a
lot of bandwidth and time (currently in the process of mixing up a
concoction to help alleviate the suckage).

How many exploits/hacks/worms for Linux software and/or Apache have
caused anywhere near this much strain on public networks? How many
exploits actually check for previous exploits (4 in this particular
case) to see if their lives can be made easier on the target zombie?
Set themselves up for auto-download on the webserver to infect
unsuspecting visitors while also mailing the worm around using it's
own mailer daemon?
None, none, and none, that I know of. Please enlighten me if I am
incorrect.
Again, don't get me wrong. This is not a personal attack against IIS
admins -- unless you setup a box w/o even thinking of looking at the
MS security bulletins. In the latter case, I hope your hardware melts
into a sticky pile of goo.
BTW, I heard on the news the some MS division in Japan was hit hard by
Nimda. Sheesh....
