My feeling was that this was one of those viruses that forges return
addresses and mails to addresses based on what's found in the user's
address book.  Since PLUG probably has a relatively low number of
infectable machines (relative to other groups of people), it seemed
there was a good possibility of a correlation.  You are correct, though.
There is no _proof_, or even better than even odds.
