Erm.. wasn't me.. though so far I've had 1,787 of the suckers show up in my
personal mailbox. Fortunately, they were defanged by our Mirapoints, so they
were only 2K rather than 80K each ;)
Meanwhile, I've had 52 "You sent us a virus" bounces. I'm pretty sure this
Linux laptop didn't do it. ;)
My favorite so far? Had to be the site whos spamfilter said this:

Yep.. point the gun *straight* up, pull the trigger, wait, and then wonder what
that little thing coming straight at you is... ;)
