No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't know what caused it. It turns out that along with stompies, the laistas, nyistas, and midwest lists were missing from the qmail aliases directory, even though Plesk insisted they existed. It's possible that the filesystem was corrupted after the crash.

In Plesk, I checked off the missing lists, and clicked the "On/Off" button twice. Once the lists were restarted, the mail alias files were restored.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Big damn hero.

Heh. Tom, could you check the Somervillain list as well? I can't get in to make any changes (or clean out the spam).

ETA: And I know I'm using the right password...

Spam registrations have really spiked the past two days. Maybe it *is* worth throwing a CAPCHA into the reg process?

How about a brief grammar test?

I know of one blog that asks a simple question that must be answered in order to post a comment. e.g. "What color is an orange?" That might suffice for our purposes.
