Please don't be too quick to point the finger at Museum-L (though I'd be
surprised if various members weren't infected). It could be anyone who has
your e-mail address, and likely is multiple persons unless you're a hermit.
I've received over 200 yesterday and today--the "sender's" addresses in some
cases almost certainly have nothing to do with the list, thorough others might
well be associated. Some likely are academic (the reputed "sender" in one case
was the graduate office of my university).

Hopefully people now are alerted to keep their virus protection current, and
eventually the viruses will go back to a trickle.
