Thank you, communications committee, for the work you do.
Also, if you think what happened was a spam flood, you are very lucky.
While a mail admin and very active on NANAE, I ticked someone off to the
point that I had more than 80,000 spam mails attacking my usenet account
in a day. Not to mention six or seven irate phone calls from people who
received spam with my personal contact information on it.
I suspect the flood would have been larger, but the traffic maxed out my
SMTP process so lots of connections were refused.
