Bah!

I've just looked at the membership list for that one, and the user in
question isn't on it. That means the spam that triggered a mod request *was*
just coincidental, and that kind of rules him out as the most likely
suspect.

(Not ruled out completely - nobody on this list with a Windows PC can be
ruled out completely as being the source of Jeremy's spam - but it means
we're back to square zero as far as identifying the real infected machine's
owner.)

Oh well.

At least I can let him know that he's no longer the prime suspect as being
Typhoid Mary.
