    I suspect that the poor boy's efforts greatly raised the full-time
    employment prospects of many on this list. This lad had good
    intentions, if flawed in his reasonong and execution.

    He /did/ put to the test a theory that has choked this list and others
    for a few years. I suspect we won't be subjected to any more drivel
    about a "good worm" for some while now... ;-)
