Hi guys,

Sorry for the spam!  Like Joe mentioned, the user (probably a bot) signed up
on all these mailing lists and spammed them.  The only thing to do would
have been to turn on emergency moderation and moderate every single mail
that comes in until the spammer is thrown out.  Unfortunately, I've been a
little tied up the last couple of weeks and have not been able to keep track
of what has ben happening on the list.  I missed the spam attack entirely.

Anyway, we have additional people with the power to turn on emergency
moderation on the list now.  The next time this happens, we'll be better
prepared! :)

Venky.
