If for no other reason than that they had to cope with a sudden influx of 
the virus from outside sources that have them in their address book (I'd 
hate to think how many Outlook users might have "president@whitehouse.gov" 
in their address book!)

Personally, I received three copies of the virus from complete strangers, 
and none from anyone I know, before the ISP I use started rejecting any 
further "ILOVEYOU" messages.  Of course, by taking appropriate measures, I 
wasn't affected.
