This article would be much more effective if it omitted the speculative 
language it so vehemently opposes. Makes me wonder where the hysteria begins?

"Watch for breathless speculation and hysteria in the coming days.  Some naïve 
system administrators MAY TELL REPORTERS they'll delete JPEG files ..."

"The "Code Red" worms successfully exploited a buffer overrun in 2001, and 
Vmyths believes SOME REPORTERS WILL ALLUDE TO THIS -- as if to imply a horrific 
JPEG attack MAY be just around the corner.  "

"Vmyths SUSPECTS a hoax virus alert will arise ... (It's practically a 
self-fulfilling prophesy.)"
