As maintainer of the main Vic and SA teacher lists, around 10-12 snow whites per day.

Imho, in terms of viruses / worms, this one seems to have been the most 'successful' since RTM's 'daemon' in 1988 over the U.S. DARPA / Arpanet . RTM's 'daemon' disseminated more quickly, though, obviously less far. Would any linker disagree?

Cheers all ..
