Actually, what the page says is that it *attempts* to send every 30 minutes.
Probably this machine is not on all the time, or if on is not online, and thus the
worm could not do that much damage. As for why friend Park hasn't responded to your
post, he may very well have unsubscribed from the list, but it may remain in his
address book.
Of course, this is all speculation and the fellow may indeed be as sinister as you
say. At any rate, there really isn't much good coming from this thread of
conversation, so let's just let it go, huh?
