Yes. Sorry. Apparently some spammer has decided to mine our web
content for email addresses.

Long ago we used to write email addresses as "username at tigris dot
org". We stopped doing that because spam did not seem to be a
problem, and some new users throught it was an error on our site that
you could not simply click an email address.

I think it is time to change things back and more agressively prevent
email mining. I dont have a schedule for when that will happen just
yet. Let me see what changes I can make today to partly solve the
problem.

If you got the stainless steel spam at some email address that was not
"username@tigris.org", that means that your email address is in some
HTML page in your project. You might want to change that.

BTW, we have had very low spam on the mailing lists because they are
moderated.

jason!
