    just in case you did not already know the Klez worm takes addresses from
    the Addressbook of who ever was foolish to use Microsoft Outlook, so it is
    quite possilbe that Leonard Rosenthol had the misfortune to be added to
    the addressbook of a foolish Outlook Express user.

    http://www.satirewire.com/news/0103/outlook.shtml

    A prime example why closed source software should be forced to accept a
    greater amount of liability than it currently does (and UCITA should never
    have been passed).

    Sincerely
    Alan
