It looks very much as if you are avoiding the question. If the issue
is whether Morris should be barred from the computer industry, it should
be noted that he was not a part of it at the time of the Internet Worm.

I strongly suggest, by the way, that folks interested in the Iernet
Worm case read Hafner and Markoff's book CYBERPUNK, and Peter Denning's
COMPUTERS UNDER ATTACK. It is difficult for those with actual knowledge
about the case to obsess on punishing Morris.
