The tiny little conspiracy theorist in my says some debater from
another school has waaay too much time on his hands and found our
gmail address through Mr. Deignnan's homepage, then entered our
address in one of spam websites (where you enter the address of
someone you don't like and it automatically signs them up for
thousands of constant spam messages).
