[NCSG-Discuss] SPAM threat

[Carl Smith]

Indeed Ron,

This is an example of how an individual member may be unknowingly 
co-opted. We must always be vigilant. As we speak for the masses, we may 
have the numbers on our side, but it is the subversives who are our 
threat. We must not become paranoid on this matter. This may be no more 
than a random attack.
