Mike, er, "Murph", I have some monster fire ant beds...We couldalso sit them
on my propane forge...


I hate to say this, gang, but you'd better get used to this.  There are
several viruses out there that grab addresses from the address book on a
computer they have gotten to, and randomly use one address for the
recipient, and another for the sender.  They can also take these addresses
with them to the next computer they infect as part of the virus payload.
The only thing you can do about it is keep your anti-virus software up to
date, and delete the messages you get telling you someone got an infected
message from you.

If we can find a few of these people (I use the term loosely), we may be
able to take some more proactive steps.  I have in mind some red-hot tongs
and an eggbeater.
