This is no more surprising than the realization that DNA forensic evidence
is only being found by labs that have the capability of DNA forensic analysis,
or that Uri Geller wasn't debunked until he happened to run into
James Randi.

If (for instance) a list of poodle enthusiasts gets trawled for addresses,
and said list doesn't have any radical anti-spammers on it, then the victims
of the subsequent spamming runs will merely say "Oh Foo.  I wonder how they
got my address".

If one of the subscribers is a radical anti-spammer who is subscribed to
the list using the address k-rad-poodle-cookie-239DfjIqM@isp.com, and said
address gets spammed, the radical anti-spammer knows *VERY* well *exactly*
how the spammers got the address.....

When only radical anti-spammers are deploying methods for tracing how a
spammer gets addresses, *of course* only lists that have said anti-spammers
on it will have this problem.
