By creating basic structures upon which the program dwells, coding
takes alot of self-referential dimensions and, by linking itself to
a certain modern esthetic, creates the paradox of programming a
virus as a means of dialetic approach from the creator to the
audience and the audience to the creator. 

In the end, a finished virus is a masterpiece about identity,
perhaps of a character.  While some like to negate its merits by
stating coding is "overrated", said people just can't surpass the
veil of simplicity a virus creates for itself.  So the notion of
abject user misery when the payload drops is reinforced. Suck on
that poetry, ############s. [bg]
