No, you didn't get my point. I know how the virus works, but I'm not
coherent enough to explain it well today (but thank you to those of you
who have). I just figured it was nobody else's business what someone's
e-mail address was, unless they thought they *might* be the source of
infection and wanted to have that information to help them. E-mail
addresses in someone else's address book are none of my business, at
least IMO. And I don't want to spread some innocent's address any
further without good reason, and that wasn't good reason.
