there is one in every group.

Someone that utterly and stupidly comprises their email account by
putting their login information into a 3rd party site that then uses
that address to spam everyone they know, first it sends an email to
every email addy in it's database that it knows (ie is a member) and
then, to everyone that it doesn't (here is where the spam comes in.)

So please for the love of whatever you find scared, don't be an idiot,
protect your account data and refrain from becoming a spammer.  Yes,
by doing that you know they'll use your emaill to send out that crap
which makes you a spam by choice.   Be above that!  Copy and Paste
your friends email addresses in 1 at a time (most sites have that
option) or upload a file (there is a specail file you can download
from most email providers that has all your contacts in it for free!)
to that site, if it doesn't start a petition to have that added as a
service.

Friends don't let friends, comprimse their accounts.
