Targeted attack on this NG

I started receiving e-mail with malicious virus attachments from forged
addresses pretending to be from people on the NG that I would normally read
their mail.  I think it's a little too coincidental for a harvester to match
up the people that I correspond with.  If this virus gets past my
protection, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM ME.  -and let me know so I can
clean it out.  If I get them from this NG, as it is the only one I use this
address, you too might be under attack.  So far, I see a common thread
between the faked addresses that I am getting this booger from and
sophomoric personal attacks that have taken place on this NG.  I've never
been called a female anatomy component until recently.  Gee, who do you
think I suspect?

The problem maybe using your email address as it appears. Its probably Ok to
use your name. But your really need to get rid of anything close to the real
address.
