I was going to save no but then I got spammed. They have clearly been
tracking this group for a while because I got spammed at theoriginal
address I subscribed from. So like Serge I say that the subscriber
addresses for this list have been compromised.
The only thing that can be said for their denial of service here is that
it was DocBook related. However, if they'd done their homework properly
they'd know that I'm in competition with them.
