[Foundation-l] spamming of the english wikipedia users detected

It is unnecessary and not a very good idea.  If he does this on every other
wiki, I will not complain.  (But I doubt he will do that.)

Gregory Maxwell is behind it. He said in an email to me yesterday:

"Yep. I made a list of everyone accounts that haven't voted but could
vote , and I'm using "email this user" against them.. Well, my
computer is. :)"

It's mass-mailing, certainly, but it is targeted, so I wouldn't call it
spam.
