Oh no, I think it might have been me whose account was hacked...I'm so sorry that this happened, I know it's not my fault, but I feel terrible about it. But I just logged into my email account about 10 minutes ago and saw that my inbox was flooded with all these spam messages that I had apparently sent out to all the lists I'm subscribed to, along with everyone else. So I'm doing my best to clean up the damage, I've changed my password, and I hope that takes care of it. Again, I sincerely apologize.
