Hello,

I normally don't post to this many lists at once, but you all have a
right to know this.

Right now I and two others (Jeremiah Bess and ShrimpyGuy) are having
some problems with someone spoofing off our emails.  If you recieve a
seemingly random email from any of us that doesn't seem to make sense,
it may not have actually come from us.

To identify these fradulent emails, please look for these signs:

1) Having something to do with cheetah.ultrawhb.com

Look up the IP of the sender.  If it isn't from GMail, it isn't us. 
Rather, you're getting the total punk that thinks it's funny to harass
a few Linux users.  If this gets much worse, we will be notifying
various authorities, and I will personally be giving a few cracker
friends of mine the green light on this guy's server.  I most likely
shouldn't have told you that, since the less you know the better off
you are on that one (don't worry - they're on the road to repentence,
I give them occassional honeypots to play with though : )

Thanks for your patience, and hopefully this will be sorted out soon.
