Subject: SoBig.F strange problem

Hi Scott,

   >>> Is there some logical explanation why I'm being singled out here?

According to a news article on Sobig.F, the major innovation in this
version is that it is multi-threaded and sends out messages much
quicker.  

My Email account is getting hit pretty badly also.  I'm getting 5 to 10
copies of Sobig every hour.
