"ADAM GERSTEIN, _THE_ MACGURU" says:
Need I remind you of a certain Robert T. Morris? Does the "Internet Worm" mean anything to you? Sure, it wasn't actual email, but it did use email and other means of transport to cripple the net in a matter of hours.
The similarity between the Morris worm and a "if you read it your computer will get cooties" virus is comparable to the distinction between an actual war and the film version of "Star Wars". .pm
