Talk about anal.=20


Now I've been trying to follow this thread, and I may have  got the =
wrong end of the stick somehere but, I would like to point out that I =
fully respect David H Lipmans' persistance in clarifying malware =
terminology / categrisation,
indeed, I've found it VERY useful on several occasions.

And for those other malware "professionals" out there, I'd like to point =
out that David H Lipman is held in the highest esteem by many people =
inc. myself, ...and who also consider him to be one of the foremost =
authorities in the field of malware, so much so that when I have an =
interest in a specific variant, and I'm wading through a thread, there's =
only a few I need to read - David H Lipman first - and a few others.  I =
particularly avoid reading posts by one or two  particular "know-all's" =
because of their condescending and ignorant attitude.

enough said :-)

regards, Richard
