>>post. NO

No hard feelings taken! And your english was better than mine. ;)
I think that's what sucks the most about this worm, if we do anything 
about it, it only makes it worse (traffic-wise).
This really is the best one I've ever seen, I think. Not in the fact 
that it's hard to patch (which it isn't), but in how crafty it is in 
creating a replicating army to effectively send a DoS all over the 
world - and the responses from it just adding to that DoS.
