Please. Analogies are for the weak of mind, and for trying to confuse
the true issues at hand. Being that this is a technical list, how
about constraining arguments to the relevant subject. It is reasonable
to assume that anyone subscribed to this list can understand the
discussion in native terms. I don't think tired analogies about
burglars and virus writes help to clarify anything.

Put simply:
'Some kid tweaking Nimbda' != 'Burglar breaking into houses'

No matter how many times you hear it repeated.
