Re: Support the Sasser-author fund started

Guys,

I am not trying to defend the worm author.

Thierry (Thierry () Sniff-em com) made a point earlier on that the guy 
admitted to writing the source, not spreading (maybe it is an outdated 
info, I do not know)


My point is, that the guy innocent until proven otherwise in the court 
of law. I am just opposed to Mr.Lynch law order discussions.
