Nevertheless I think it is a point that the Moderator could comment 
on that a number of us have had our user-ids "harvested" from 
Sharechat.

For example I received a Failure to Deliver type message from AOL 
which was genuine and after fighting my way through all the indigestible
 technobabble it seemed that a gentleman by the name of Wong had used
a Telecom Xtra broadband account to send an email with the title "Re Details"
(which of course is a giveaway for the SoBig virus) to AOL in my name 
which naturally I object to. 

Hopefully Telecom have taken steps to wipe him off their books.
It is a concern if using Sharechat exposes us to prostitution of our user-ids 
and much greater spam and attacks by worms and viruses. I don't care 
whether MS is involved or not, that's irrelevant.
