Looks terribly, terribly like a Swen posting to me.

I don't recall the precise date, but the day Swen.A was released I was 
in Munich a week or two before the Virus Bulletin conference the year 
the latter was in Toronto.  Thinking back, VB 2004 was Chicago and VB 
2003 was in Toronto, and the VB conference is usually at the very end 
of September and very occasionally the very beginning of October, so 
let's say Swen was released mid-September 2003.

Hardly news, eh?

And certainly not worth bothering a list like F-D with...
