Wh* worms ? I hope the humor I gave has defused any hard feelings. I recall various worm stories, but have never ever done a worm/virus etc. on a computer so far as I know. The oldest worm story I recall follows :

Ooey Gooey World Worm, He Did Not Know.
He Sat Up On A Railroad Track, Ooey Gooey Worm!

I still have a problem with memory to prevent recall of many things. Now that I have had time to think, worm is write once, read many. This is an excellent method of write protect. It is better to have a slightly defective original than to have an amorphous blob.....

Okay, I considered "worms" and found many variations. The one I like best is :
Women! Override Ridiculous Menace's Smugness!
As in "Dennis the Menace". The override I agree to is a wedding ring to go along with the "Diligence Integrity Citizenship" ring I just put back on. Years ago I took the ring off. Who says sympathetic magic does not work ?
See Suzette Haydin Elgin "Yonder Comes The Other End Of Time".
Balancing the possibilities of fantasy and reality is a tricky task.
I am willing to call the bumpkin IEEE versus ivory tower ACM contest a draw.....
Any, Every, More, and All criticisms are welcome, SARGE.
I do not of course promise to obey, just to listen.

Okay, I suppose that I am really slow. If you mean what I think you mean, then I simply exert willpower to validate what I am and take whatever comes. Usually after the situation returns to normal I find that I have new insights if nothing else. I do not intentionally attack, but lack the viewpoint necessary to be passive. If doing so is any help, then I apologize for the blundering I have done.

The fundamental complaint I have is simply this. In the Bible it is promised that the meek will inherit the Earth and the remainder of Mankind will inherit the heavens or if judged unfit will be externally punished. The eternal punishment part sounds like the product of a sick mind, but I will set aside that complaint. What I see is mankind stuck on the threshold, stagnating. Anyone who dares to stand up on his two hind feet and declare independence is punished or struck dead. The goal of a good teacher is a student who exceeds the teacher's abilities. So who is running this circus, and why does this show not go on the road / get on the way ?

I just had a most amusing thought. Am I the Voracious Witty Boisterous Electrical Engineer Tiny Lying Extremist "VW Beetle" which you are offering to "Free" ? If so, where would I go ? Earth could be much better of course and is familiar territory. Just yet another wild *** guess for your entertainment. Should I create more limee ricks instead ?

Ho Hum. Monologues are so boring compared to conversations. I welcome and invite participation on all these and the previous topics by anyone and everyone anywhere at all, so long as you understand or at least think you understand what I have been saying.
The little limerick I gave seems to be insufficient. After I crack the English language code, I propose cracking the DNA code. Notice that DNA is
DE [O x Y] RIB ON U CLE A IC AC ID which is a 10 U 10 limerick.
RNA is RIB ON U CLE A IC AC ID.
I also used dictionary.com to read definitions for "grammar", another word, then a third word with a wild card *.
The wild card * word caused the power to fail as soon as I hit enter. I was not especially surprised.
The system is correct to defend itself.
I recall a movie where a bull got loose in a china shop. Miraculously, the bull did no damage.
The manager was so delighted that he exclaimed. At that point everything crashed down.
I do not want such events to occurr.
Beware the mythos selection process. I noticed cues in the other threads. Here is what came to mind.
Song "They paved Paradise and they put up a parking lot".
Song "One/Won Tin/Ten Soldier Rides A Way" from the movie Billy Jack.
Judgement Day is a two way street. I suggest following the description by Heinlein in "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" for courts and judges.
The Space Empires IV map is a metaphore/ simile / allegory for the net. The net is a shadow of Creation.
The warp point links are low lag/ low loss hubs in a star topology.
The distances between warp points in a system model the transmission line loss/ lag between hubs.
I began to write a general purpose router for Aaron, then realized what I was doing a couple weeks ago and stopped.
Is it really desirable to improve communication rates when most of the data is garbage ?
Another amusing note - the computer I use now attempts to change the words I type.
I go back over the text and find corrections and "improvements".
As I said before, apply a means test to figure out what I mean, because most of the time I do not know what I am saying anyway....

I was finally able to do a dictionary.com search on "*worms" without the link crashing. Humongous Belly Laugh! I overlooked the Martin Luther connection completely. This is the United States of America folks, with seperation of church and state. There is freedom of religions and from them too if so desired. Nobody has given any guesses, so I will give one of many interpretations of the ditty.

I Have A Little Ditty Which I Will Now Tell.
Earth Is Really Heaven And Heaven Is Really Hell.
I *ve a *lly *tty *ch I *ll now *ll.
*rth is *lly *ven and *ven is *lly *ll.

Think about the description of Heaven. Either you are compelled to do nothing but sing praises forever, or if you are God then all you ever get is an incessant din of Halleluyahs and Hosannas.....

Edit : OOps, Freudian slip. Silly Ditty not Little Ditty. Though I must admit that the cure for a "little bit of Heaven" could be a "little bit of Everything".
