It can't be coincidence that the fake-urgler-ID
viruses are being received by other urglers.

Looks like a troll ID-faker who reads urg, has found a new way to be
silly.


More likely the program sending the emails has harvested them from an
infected third party who had both addresses in their address book, or even
that the program has moved from address book to address book harvesting a
list of addresses and mixing them up.

A while ago I received an email ostensibly from Alan to one of our
clareassoc addresses. This address is purely an alias: it has never been
used to send email, nor is it used to post to any usenet group, but it has
been fairly widely circulated on the web, is used by our clients and is in
plenty of address books.

If a troll was emailling me manually, I'd rather expect them to use my
posting address, which is valid, or at least something on the same domain.

I'd guess that someone once emailled us using info@, and the same person
(or maybe even someone they know) happened to have had an email from Alan
as well.

(I don't normally check my junk mail that carefully! I was looking for
something else that had got junked accidentally, and noticed the name).
