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.

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.
