Default Is this a millipede?

In article c6ce764e-51b8-472e-b156-cebc83ff2315
@o11g2000yql.googlegroups.com, says...

I don't have a picture. I'll try to get one, the little buggers are
FAST! When I was working my garden soil, I discovered I have a ton of
orange thin worm/millipedes all thru my soil. They were maybe 2
inches long w/ a ton of legs. Their body was very skinny.

Do I need to do something to get rid of these things, or are they OK.
Does anyone have an idea as to what they might be?
