Yes, I've been inconvenienced by this group too. I've already reported them as "spam" to Google and have warned them if they bother me again I shall report them to Google abuse. This Russian Aviatiion character went as far as to analyze the Google Analytics code on my personal website, in a bid it seems to associate me with the sex trade in Indonesia, gek eh? I have informed the relevant authorities in Indonesia ... :).

Huge fan of yours, Fae. Keep on trucking.

Please take care when emailing replies to any inflammatory appearing
emails to the list. You may be receiving emails with identical subject
lines which are from a googlegroup rather than from a Wikimedia list
which will appear to be in the same email thread. An example has been
the discussion about the Arbcom election which even includes email
bodies from the gendergap list in order to fool users.

Checking the details will show "@googlegroups.com" in the from field
and in the footer or names such as "Russia Aviation", thought these
are likely to keep changing.

Unfortunately despite multiple complaints about this group hijacking
users from a Wikimedia list by maliciously harvesting email addresses,
Google has yet to take any visible action.
