It's the principle, like I stated here before this the only place where my e-mail is common knowledge, and if it's someone I've pissed off I'd like to know who my enimes are.
First of all, people's e-mail addresses (whether publicly posted or not) can
be found a number of ways. Perhaps you're in the Yahoo Address Book? Perhaps the virus just sends itself to random e-mail addresses? Perhaps
someone did directly target you? But chances are you're just being paranoid.
So it doens't matter where your e-mail address is "common knowledge". If it's anywhere on the 'net, it is common knowledge.
Next, since you make wild accusations, act so damn paranoid and write
childish posts, chances are you have a number of enemies. Espeically if
you treat others (besides from this board) this way.
99% of net users will receive e-mail viruses at some point or another. Ususally these e-mails seem to be from people they know. That's part
of the beauty of them, they seem to come from trusted sources.
My last suggestion is to realize that you're not special, you're probably
not being targeted and, chances are, no one is going to come forward to
confess anyway.

You know, it's funny that you say this is the only place that your email is "common knowlege", but Google says otherwise.
Kinda ironic, no?

What sage is saying is that since google found it, that means that spam harvest-bots have found it. Any time that you post your own email, change it so that it doesn't look like an email.
example:
user kkkwwweq domain www net (if you want to email me, change kkkwwweq into an "at" symbol and www into a dot).
And any time a forum, mailing list, company or a friend posts your email in plain view, complain complain complain until they change it.

You're that bored aren't you? No, I'm not that bored. How bored is "that bored" anyhow?
How long did it take you to dig that up? I copied your email address to the clipboard, hit start+r, typed in "google ", then hit ctrl+v, edited out "mailto:", and pressed enter. Thanks to a perl script I wrote, this brought up that very Google page I linked earlier. So about 30 seconds, maybe a minute at maximum.
I think you know what I mean to. Unfortunately, I am not psychic, and as the meaning of your words is very vague, I don't really know what you mean.
So tell me why are you hatin' on me? Culture20 was already nice enough to state what my point was. So stop throwing out accusations at people trying to help you. It's very immature.
