    Hi Henrik,

    8086 asm and Forth knowledge, although less common these days, isn't
    necessarily an indicator of shining intelligence or insight. And as
    for your 'great knowledge' comment -- the sad reality is this: It
    really doesn't take a whole lot of skill to implement a Windows worm.

    It's a bit presumptuous to say with any certainty the cvs tag was a
    plant -- people make dumb/costly mistakes. Personally, I could care
    less about whether or not the mydoom author is caught -- there are
    thousands of kids ready to take his/her spot.

    Cheers,

    Cael
