Hi Harry,

I wanted to say thank you for starting this and a thank you to everyone 
who's interested. I'm just now catching up on all of my mailing list 
email back from around Christmas and Matt Mullenweg had forwarded the 
original announcement email to me.

I help run a web hosting company that found itself at the center of 
this last round of comment spam problems. We're a somewhat unique place 
in that we were founded by developers: myself, Dean (developer of 
Textile and Textpattern), Brad Choate (who later left for sixapart), 
David Heinemeier Hansson (Ruby on rails and Instiki), Matt Mullenweg 
(Wordpress), Rickard Andersson (PunBB), Marten Veldthuis (Epilog) and 
Noel Jackson (Photostack).

We were already using mod_security (and mod_dosevasive) for a number of 
things and started immediately applying those to comment and trackback 
spam, as well put together an mailing list for a lot of the developers 
to hash ideas, for us to initiate the development of some other apache 
modules, how to leverage our rsyncs of to discuss the results of log 
analyses and for everyone to discuss some trends they notice.

Then before the holidays, I set up a server with a Trac installation, 
Subversion repositories, SVN::Notify hooks and several mailing lists at 
http://cspamhaus.com/ as a way to organize our own efforts.  I'd be 
perfectly willing and happy to open up to everyone, it's there and 
ready to go.

Thanks, J
