Subject: [cobalt-security] Spam from this list

People have been using this list to send spam to participants by grabbing the e-mail of respondents.  I am not going to name names, but I think it is horribly unfair.  Most people here seem like good netizens.  However, those of you who are acting irresponsibly are spoiling it for the rest of us.
 
Please stop. 
 
I have identified one offender, and I have broken into your server to look around.  If you don't stop, your server will become inoperative without data loss.  Failing that, I will approach your ISP and lodge a complaint.  Most ISPs will boot users who send spam.
