Jon (or Allan if you'd prefer), The machine that subscribed to the lists was the same as the machine you're using at the moment. Since we know you're at work, that casts doubt on the whole 'home machine' argument.
I've also never heard of a virus that signs people up for random mailing
lists, mind you I don't pay attention to outlook virii so I can't be
sure about that one.
Your machine is called 'mandark' (as evidenced here by a SMTP log from
one of your emails)
Sep 29 16:14:27 flute sm-mta[29152]: h8T6EReK029152:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1805, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=mail.mary.acu.EDU.AU [203.10.46.15]
mandark.... was the requester for the subscription to the windows
newsletter :
Received: from mandark ([203.10.46.54])
by marn1.acu.edu.au (Lotus Domino Release 5.0.12)
with ESMTP id 2003093014453265:19566 ;

The odds on a conincidental virus (which causes subscribtions to spam
lists) infecting your machine at the same time that you're berating
everyone in SLUG for not doing anything about SPAM are pretty high.
If it truly is a virus, then please ensure you clean your machine to
stop any future subscriptions coming from your address. Perhaps I could
suggest not using your work machine for private emails, this would also
solve the problem.
Your abusive attitude is not welcome on the list. We do not want more
swearing, more threats or more tantrums.
Just stop Jon. No more follow-ups, no more threats, no more swearing,
no more childish pranks. Just stop, unsubscribe if you wish, just stop.
I'm sure your employeer would rather you got on with more productive
work.
