>>OK. So let's see. We've got one highly successful virus (MyDoom.A) on the loose at
the time of writing, another variant that's essentially identical except for the target,
and no clear indication why this one *shouldn't* take off as well.
>>...
>>Yes, it took an extreme view that nobody is supporting *NOW*. Now isn't last
Wednesday night, when there wasn't a week's worth of hindsight.

The advisory specifically says that MyDoom.B is spreading rapidly, and that was never
the case. It didn't say that it *could* spread rapidly. Maybe you think misinforming in
order to induce caution is a good idea, but I expect nothing but the truth from an
agency like this.
