Exactly as I stated eariler...this is just information leakage...old as
it might be, it helps...the people on the list are just doing their
jobs...getting paid and giving information to a employee that knows
their name (and is higher in the company) seems harmless. Spam isn't the
issue with this information leakage, I can buy a CD with 6 million
e-mail address on it...how would this list help me spam?

Forget about the spammers, how about social engineers. This 
is quite the gold mine for that.

Hi this is Joe Schmoe from building 69 I need to have my 
password reset.

i have to admit... it's pretty old and useless, but i think 
this may 
be a nice place for spammers to try out some new adresses...
