I agree, however the content is the problem, not the title.

I think it's pretty easy to modify an existent virus to make a new one, but 
very difficult to build a really new.

It should not be a good idea to spread infos allowing anybody to compile a 
destructive virus.

what about somebody giving a virus with a greeting message thanking LDP ?

At least, any virus creation HOWTO shoul give a cure to the created beast
