   "You have this ideal vision of doing something
   for the greater good," said David Litchfield,
   managing director of Next Generation Security
   Software Ltd. of London, who acknowledged that
   a small bit of his code might have been used in
   the attack. "I will probably no longer publish such code."

Hmm.. Didn't the worm use some of Microsoft's code that was watching port
1434? Perhaps we could get the MS programmer who wrote that to quit
publishing his code as well?
