Did anyone else onlist get this email asking if you tried to sub to the linux-kernel list? I did, even though I did *not* try to sub to that list. The headers seem to indicate that the message was sent to the linux-newbie list from linux-newbie-owner, which makes me believe that probably everyone onlist got it. If so, why? Is this a mistake on the part of the list admin, an indicatation that the list has been hacked, a sick mockery of our paltry tech prowess, a result of the northeast power outage, or what?
