Judging by the signature, it came from Michele Petrovsky, who's evidently
using Tom Parkinson's voicenet account. Not a whole lot of sleuthing
required. The original source IP is stripped by slist, but the From: line
is valid. Michele is certainly a legitimate member of the community, and
her Wine book has recently appeared
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764546309/). It looks like she's
working on a new project, and is interested in finding collaborators.

Believe me, I see all the attempted spam, and there's a lot of it. So far
as I can tell, very little or none gets through to the list. This messaage
isn't spam. It's perhaps off-topic, but that just comes with the territory
of running an unmoderated list.

Or this really could be a legitimate message and I'm just an a**hole, but it
sure as hell doesn't look like one.

What was that I said the other day about this list turning into
linux-kernel??  I really wasn't wishing for that, honest!!
