Na, na. You immune to the wrath of weber gremlins, Nate?

I guess you may be -- you may not have been active in the critical
timeslot. This time, you see, it's the real refined twelfth-night daemon
who's on the war path. It kicked off me, it kicked off Mike C, it probably
kicked off Judy D and Kathie G, too, if I look back in the archive. Crawl
back on folks!

What happens is that there's a bad account out there, bouncing xmca mail
back to weber, and the weber gremlins then unsubscribe not THAT account
but the innocent sender of the original posting. Evidently it happened to
some people on day 1 -- but now it is the notifications when messages have
been "enqueued and undeliverable" for 12 days that drop in with the same
effect. Kind of symbolic. I think Bruce has unsubscribed the real culprit
and is busy busting the perl ghosts.

Stay calm!
