RE: spam

The message (no subject) that I am replying to consisted of a
single line which was a link to some website. It was almost
certainly spam, and possibly malware, and almost certainly was
spoofed (that is, the sender was NOT Tony).

I have deleted the message from the Google Groups archive (but
it will be archived in many other places), and am replying
simply to alert people that we know it's spam, and all we can do
is wait until Google adjusts their system to reject future
attacks. Google has been MUCH better at rejecting spam in the
last couple of months (managers see a greatly reduced level of
spam attempts reaching the queue of messages needing approval to
be posted, and we haven't had any spoofed spam for a long time).
