Viruses/etc are a form of aggression, certainly not a 'public service',
nor something that a hacker wants to put his/her name & address to in
public.

But just for the record, CNN reported today that this worm contains
ASCII text that chides Bill Gates for writing software that can be
attacked too easily. The ASCII text serves no computing function.

Graffiti, basically. I wonder how many of these virus authors want to
think of themselves in terms of what they really are --- graffiti ---
rather than intelligent?
