If the infection comes with a cure, then there wouldn't be a reason to go

Rob, I've always wondered the same thing ... if the conspiracy theory
turns out to be a wash, I suspect that most worm/trojan/virus creators,
while displaying some wicked hubris, just don't have the brass to try
causing that kind of damage.  Dumber haX0rs are born every day though ...
