[sf-lug] MEGA Invitation

[jim]

     I see that I've just gotten an invitation to
MEGA.nz from JasonEdwardKirk, too.
     My guess is that Jason had nothing to do with
the invitation either. He subscribes to this list,
so I imagine he'll pipe up.
     Lately we've been getting spam from various
names @linuxmafia.com. Is it possible that the
linuxmafia box is exposed or that someone's
capturing streaming in and out of that host?
