Popularity by virus
So far, I have received over a hundred emails from people infected by the new virus, and receiving more every hour. I took some time to see if I knew any of the originators of these emails, so that I could notify them they have been infected in case I happen to know them. Nope. All perfect strangers so far.
In some perverted way, you can measure how popular you are by how many infected emails you receive.
Corollary: if you haven’t received any infected email yet, nobody loves you.

Or all your friends are too savvy to open the things.
Unfortunately, these viruses use the address book to send out emails, but they also forge the sender identity by using random addresses from the address book. The addresses you see are people who are known by people who know you and got infected ;) The address of the infected computer never appears... or maybe if you look more deeply in the mail headers...
I've received a bunch of them on my yahoo.com mail account ... currently, mail.yahoo.com is unavailable : my guess is that this server is just overwhelmed by this mass-mailer virus
Oh the galling ego of the statement. :>
