I reported the group for spamming. Adding me and others without our consent
and sending unsolicited emails must be stopped somehow.

For the record, about an hour ago I permanently banned
Site Admin,
going so far as to create regex filters for his content. And no,
Russavia, I didn't think it was you.
Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the individual
subscriptions—yes, I got one too.

Hi all
Below is an email I've just received inviting me to join the Gender Gap
mailing list. It's sent from russiaviation(a)gmail.com and has been
passing
off as me.
I mentioned on the Gender Gap mailing list the other day that this was
not
me, but now it would appear that email addresses
on this mailing list are
being scraped.
If you receive an email purporting to be from myself and it's not from
this
email addy (and with an IINET IP), you can be
assured it is not myself.
If
I wanted to troll you all, you all know that I
have more elaborate ways
of
doing this if I really wanted to do that. :)
It could appear from the message they sent it is our Indian friend who is
doing this; but of course it could be someone joe jobbing them too. Who
knows, who cares, it's not me all the same.
Cheers
Russavia

I regret that XYZ has thought it necessary to bring his/her personal
grievance to the Wikimedia-l mailing list now that s/he is unable to make
such comments on the Wikimedia-XYZ list or the WM-XYZ website. I would
hope
that the moderators will consider whether
providing a platform for this
type of attack is conducive to the health of the Wikimedia movement.
