He was not suggesting it went through the list Bryan. He was suggesting one or more people who get messages from this list might be infected.
And quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me.. I've seen a couple of a posts on this list from people more-or-less completely unaware of security issues.
Those virus alert are most likely the cause of someone you've emailed sometime in your life getting mydoom or a similar virus.
ie: any snort-users subscriber would be in the list of potentials, since he's emailed all of us. (and did so back on 2/9 as well).
However, as someone else pointed out, there's usenet and web archives too, increasing the list of possible infectees beyond direct subscribers.
