	Well, actually, it has begun again.  Apparently either it is
being done with cracked accounts, or someone is distributing the
script around, since the original messages came from
pbergman at netcom.com, while the latest batch (I got 3 this morning),
came from a different netcom user.  (Apologies for not having a name,
I misplaced the posts.)
	It's safe to say that this second wave is just an "annoyance"
one, as one of the people listed in the headers of the mail is
emmanuel at well.sf.ca.us, the editor of 2600.  Thus, I think this is
more for harassment of him than for any kind of serious attempt to
have peoples' accounts rifled.
	ObCrypto: How long until someone decides that anyone who posts
to alt.security.pgp is obviously a spy/kiddie porn collector/secretive
serial killer/UNABOMer/etc., and takes it upon themselves to notify
half a dozen people of such?
