Hype on Conficter

[gbugbear at gmail.com (Tim Mugherini)]

Thanks for your replies thus far.

Just read Paul's post on conficker from yesterday.

To quote "We can speculate all day and night about why we made a big deal
about this, but in the end I have to wonder, what else went on this week
(and especially today) that we all missed because we were to busy
Confickering?"

Guess I was having the same line of thought. And to answer Paul's question
on what I missed - Your post on Conficker! <dooh>
