The message refered to at the "excuse me" was a virus being propogated  
under the spoofed addresses of the ridecamp list server. you can always  
tell if (or if not) the virus went through the list (and was thus  
distributed to all of the members of ridecamp (and ridecamp-d) by looking  
at the archives. If the message in question is listed in the archives,  
then it went through the list, if not, then it did not go through the list.

don't trust From: and To: fields in email messages. they are not verified  
and are easily forged.

ridecamp has fairly severe (i.e. restrictive) acceptance filters which  
have thus far not allowed the many attempts to redistribute throug the  
list much success. I hope it stays that way:)
