Made out of people

More on the second degree

A week or so ago, I asked what is the second degree for?

While I haven't come to a fully satisfying answer, I do have to note that I enjoy finding out who my friends-of-friends are by virus emails.

Many virus infections grab two random names from the address book--one for "from", one for "to." Which means that--when I am the "to" name--I must be in the address book of someone who knows both me and "from".

I don't know who dfurcy-at-cc.gatek.edu is¹. But I do know that someone who still has my old Berkeley address knows him. Same for 6256d8f.00690e72-at-msnotes.wustI.edu. And erthei-at-codelco.cl. Unfortunately, my mail auto-forwarding from Berkeley to UCI seems to purge the history of these comments, so I don't know who it is.

Has anyone else made any interesting discoveries off their spammer-of-a-friend links?
