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
