Hmm, let me think about that technique a moment, virus writers often use
the address book of infected machines to send the virus to other users.
Sometimes these same virus apps send the contents of the address book
back to a central location to collect them for use in spamming.

Guess you are a virus spammer then... Okay, so you didn't use anything
more than a meme virus and not a malicious application but it still
stands that you contacted people about a very expensive commercial
conference that few of this list would have known about otherwise.
Unsolicited Comercial Email is the definition of spam.
