[edit] Specific citations needed
The "References" section below the article looks more like a bibliography than anything else. The sheer amount of detail in each paragraph compels this article to include citations. I added an unreferenced tag for this reason. Rob Rosenberger 21:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Author's motivation?
Anyone know specifically what his motivation for writing this code was?
[edit] Current status
Where is he now? Article ends where his sentence begins. --Frank Lofaro Jr. 19:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Criminal charges
"He was one of the first people to ever be prosecuted for writing a virus."
As far as my understanding goes, he was not prosecuted for writing it, but for knowingly spreading it (i.e. uploading to Usenet). It is not illegal to write a virus, is it? --jasker 21:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
