Baloney. This is yet another worm that mines addresses from infected
machine's address books. You just have to be unfortunate enough to be
in the address book of someone who got infected.

fwiw, people tell me the've seen my fake address in spams, right next to
other folks from a newsgroup. if my address is fake, has never worked,
etc, i'd say it was likely that the lists get processed down from usenet
one way or another.
