stupid spammers

[Donna Halper]

A couple of weeks ago, someone with whom I correspond got hacked, and it 
seems that since then, messages with spam links have been getting sent 
out, some of which seem to come from me.  They do not.  I assume that 
everyone in my friend's address book got captured as potential senders 
of spam, is that how it works?  But since that occurred, I have no 
evidence that my own account was hacked... As far as I know, it wasn't.  
But I'm sorry for any inconvenience the spam emails may have caused 
anyone.  (I got some of them too, under the names of folks who I know on 
this and other lists.)
