Someone else thought the same thing.  But I don't know how they would 
know that.  Moderator bounces don't include my email address, and all 
postings to the list are done via the security@ email address, so where 
did they get mine from?  Unless it's a guessing type thing and they 
just lucked out...

(Of course, we're talking fairly stupid replicating viruses here so I'm 
guessing more on a fluke than anything).
