Paul,

MSFT macros caused the Melissa bug to be easy to create. Then today I heard someone figured out the alias of the person who created it by tracing the bug back to the same person who created a bunch of documents on hacker sites. How? By using that document user ID code we are talking about on this thread last week! I don't remember the hacker's alias but they're sure that the same guy created Melissa. The information has been sent to the FBI and they are investigating. It only took a week for an example of the MSFT privacy problem to be exploited by the FBI to work a case that's now publicized nationwide. Unbelievable.
