OK, I can accept your interpretation.  I definitely agree that the context
is probably totally different than appears in the article--that's just
_sensationalistic_ journalism.  Which, as userfriendly today so nicely
illustrated, is the norm for journalism today.

Thanks,

|OK. I don't really agree with your interpretation of the quote. To me it
|says:
| - The worm is a disruption of the level of a teenage prank.
|    Not that he thinks it was created and launched by a single teenager.
|
| - OTOH, To Salus all of us are kids. The bright kids he refers to are in
|   contrast to the old geezers like himself and his cronies, including
|   folks like Vint Cerf.
|
|Finally, I'm willing to bet that the 2 sentences, even if accurate quotes,
|were not printed in the same context as they were said. Knowing Peter,
|there was a whole paragraph between them. That's just journalism.
