Something similar happened to me just before Christmas - I received an e-mail that said it was a HIT for a request *I* had posted a few months ago, which I thought was strange. I deleted it. Last year someone used my name to post an offensive message to the list. Peter dropped the person, as I recall. Wierd stuff.
