That's only because only 23 people or so had your e-mail address on their disks
(until you posted that, anyhow ;), so you don't see spewage from a virus until
one of those 23 gets nailed.

On the other hand, there's probably more like 2,300 people on the freshmen-2007
list, which means 100 times the chance that one of them will get nailed and
then find the list's address on the victim's disk for scraping.
