Someone from slip166-72-5-121.il.us.ibm.net is faking subscribe requests
and mail to the list, as shown clearly in the
[email protected] subscription and the [email protected]
forgery.  They are almost certainly behind the other items as well.  If
you dislike this, contact ibm.net.

Please let's not have a huge thread of "me too!"s.
