I suspect that the poor boy's efforts greatly raised the full-time 
employment prospects of many on this list.  This lad had good 
intentions, if flawed in his reasonong and execution.

He /did/ put to the test a theory that has choked this list and others 
for a few years.  I suspect we won't be subjected to any more drivel 
about a "good worm" for some while now... ;-)
