	Ah, so that's what happened.

	Eh... I have to confess... I submitted a query to freebsd-questions, 
in response to someone's question about the increased volume of spam, 
just meekly notifying mailman@ (and ccing questions) that this was 
happening with other lists too.  Hopefully nobody got too annoyed with 
me.  For future reference, to whom to we send such notifications?  
mailman@?

	Boy, between spam, sshd-bruteforce attempts, and tons of other 
stuff.... the 'net has become such an annoying place these days.  Every 
year this stuff seems to just get worse... *sigh*  All this net-trash 
gives me a headache.  What a waste of technology, resources, and 
bandwidth.
