I've seen it and concur with regards to worms (which don't seem to be very popular, right now, excepting the 
'background radiation' of old Code Red, Nimda, Blaster, Nachi, SQL Slammer, et. al. hosts).  I believe that hinted 
scanning is still viable, and I'd argue that the experience of the OP who kicked off this thread is an indication of 
same.
