From: Robert Lee <robertslee () comcast net> It would be interesting to know what the score is with regard to punishing the authors of viruses and worms, etc. Robert Lee Encoda Office 610-397-1632 Home 610-642-9707 Cell 610-724-1288

If you want to inhibit a behavior one alternative is to punish it. I am curious what punishment has been meted. I rarely hear of these people being found and of the few who have been found I have not been kept up to date on the result. When I was sailing in the Caribbean for six months there was one SSB frequency that carried all the news about piracy against sailors, with follow up. Your list certainly contains people who would have this kind of information about virus writers and distributors.

Don't bother to say -- get a mac, that is unfortunately not really an option for most folk. Each time we see the same press and each time more people wonder if the net world is worth the headaches. Annoyed and worried.
