I dunno. I was astonished that they came back a second time after we'd
once thrown them off and cleaned up the mess; you'd think they'd realize
that that would just happen again. I think it may have been an
intentional attack on the PG project as such, not just drive-by spamming.
(If so, and if the goal was to complicate our lives, they succeeded.)
Or maybe I'm just too paranoid.
