I forgot to mention... On one of my RubyForge wikis, the home page had been
spammed so many times that the original content had rolled off the version
history and I was unable to recover it. This is why I started checking for
spam every day. It is a royal pain-in-the-butt and I can't wait until I no
longer have to do this.
