The following mail was sent to the cypherpunks mailing list.
It may be forged, or the individual may actually be clueless.
The easy way to mailbomb someone is to forge email from them
to a large mailing list or usenet group pretending to be clueless
or saying something guaranteed to be flame bait so they get flamed.
It's unfortunately a common technique for shutting down sites that
people don't like, especially if the system administrators are
also clueless (:-).
