[comp.virus] Swap Virus Name

In deference/support to Y. Radai, while it is important to try and be consisten
t
about the naming convention we use for viruses and so forth, it is not "life-
threatening".  As the "Swap" virus does not fit into the current naming
convention well, and "Swap" is not a "libelous" name (as opposed to calling it
the "Jim and Tammy Bakker" virus for example), then why *shouldn't* we call it
the "Swap" virus.
