spam backscatter from r-sig-mixed-models?
Yes, someone seems to be scraping email addresses from all R mailing lists. I replied to an R-devel post yesterday, and now Julia Cabrera is not messing around . . . "Re: Re Rd R Bug write table for matrix of more than 2 147 483 648 elements Julia Cabrera <JuliaCabrera at lk.mobilemessage.info> Steven Baby, I am not playing with you at all ok. And for your information, I don?t have much time to waste sending emails. You should think about my privacy because of the fact that I am a woman. We can have a video chat with my other profile.

It no doubt entails a more complex system that masks all email addresses and would bust the CRAN budget. Funny that a bot is so busy as not to have time to waste sending emails . . .
