Eugene Koh, in his December 13 column on the Good Times "virus" ("Good Times," On Technology column), missed one vital point: there actually was a virus. The message about the so-called Good Times virus spawned thousands, if not millions, of copies of itself, through the transmission vector of the humans thatread it.
