EEK!
Meriss, I very strongly advise, "and I am probably not the only person who
feels this way", that you notify E. Shaun Russell (e_shaun@extropy.org),
at the very least, who the offending sender was. Probably a hotmail or
hushmail address, but the information will still be valuable.
This is no longer even a question of whether or not your mysterious
attacker deserves anonymity (s/he doesn't); this is quite probably a
covert attack on the Extropy Institute.
