Now that I've been able to recover the files off the old server, I can put
some of the info files back in place and add to them.  
Perhaps a monthly reminder will help.

Right now I'm getting about 20 non-member submissions a day - don't assume
people can read :)

That was an anomaly - some #$%&* in the UK got on the list and decided
to mailbomb his way off.

The MIME and HTML crap will be filtered out effective tomorrow.
I still need to decide if I want to punt those messages, or bounce them
back to the sender.  Currently they are going to me, and I get
quite a bit of mail already :)
