Of course your name isn't junior.

That's MY name (my initials, specifically).  I don't use it in my e-mail 
address.  I just sign it on my e-mails.  And I have no idea where the virus 
really came from (nor am I particularly interested in finding out).  I just 
found it rather amusing, and figured that I'd mention it on the currently 
rather slow Tenchi mailing list, where it might get an odd chuckle or two.
