Amen.  As I keep telling people in malware seminars, because of the different 
characteristics and differing categories of protection, it becomes more important 
to know what specific *type* of naughtiness we are dealing with, even as more of 
it converges into mixed forms.

The Internet may promise to improve the way we educate and learn,
but so did early television. TV technology has instead reduced
our attention spans, reduced intellectual conversations to sound
bits, and left us with the impression that in order to be
informed, we must first be entertained.           - Lew Platt, of HP
