Probably the appropriate action in this case is to contact the MIT
Stopit team; "MIT Stopit deals with cases of misuse of MIT's computer
systems" (from http://web.mit.edu/stopit/).  That having been said,
this is something that needs to be done *once*, and I'm sure some
enterprising mit-talk subscriber has already done so.  (Checking now,
the site seems to be down.)  There's no need to pester the people
running the site, or bombard stopit with mail.
